Painting in progress (detail) by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 6″ x 6″; (c) Amy Guidry 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Currently working on a new painting for WOW x WOW’s upcoming online exhibition, “Super Reverie<\/a>.”\u00a0 I decided to paint an ocelot for this one.\u00a0 When I was a child, I was such a fan of ocelots and big cats that I could identify them solely by the markings on their fur.\u00a0 While the overall ocelot population is currently considered stable, there are only 30 left in the United States in southeast Texas.\u00a0 They used to be found east in Arkansas and Louisiana, as well as throughout Texas and in Mexico.\u00a0 Now they are found only in extreme southern Texas, northeastern Mexico, in addition to Central and South America.\u00a0 Hunting and habitat loss are their biggest threats, which is why a border wall could hinder their roaming for food and breeding.<\/p>\n

These are progress photos of the beginning layers of paint as well as much more development of detail to the hair and eyes.\u00a0 The painting is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 6″ high.\u00a0 Sign up for my newsletter if you’d like to know when the finished piece goes online:\u00a0https:\/\/amyguidry.com\/contact.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n
