Description "My eyes are an ocean in which my dreams are reflected.”
-Unknown".

I little piece I came up with and will enter into the pre-vet club T-shirt contest for Iowa State University, hope to win! (edit I lost horribley to a shirt about bull balls) I just love the emerald green eyes of cougars, sometimes I feel as if I could be lost in them. Kind of funny how the name changes throughout the states: puma, cougar, mountain lion. Scientists say that they are different subspecies, but it does not matter to me. I love the feline race as a whole.



Made in Oil pastels.

Very beautiful, especially for oil pastels! They're always pretty tricky to use xD
I love your use of multiple uses of color for the skin.
