About the Item
Artist Comments
I'm falling in love with the beauty of tigers! Their striking markings and long faces and those intense eyes. With this painting I took the close-up cat head theme I already have going (where I paint just the close-up features of a domestic cat) and applied it to a beautiful tiger. Such beautiful animals and lots of fun to paint!
About the Artist
Growing up in Southern California, J. Dunster got her start in the art world by selling celebrity portraits to fans - and sometimes even the celebs themselves! She moved on to study drawing, anatomy, and painting at Otis College of Art ; Design, and now specializes in oil paintings of portraits, figures and animals. We think she has a special talent for painting furry felines! She paints to find the beauty and nobility in things, capturing emotion, drama and silliness. She says quite a few of her models act surprised by what they see in her portraits, as if I discovered something more noble or beautiful in them. But it's not a put-on, that *is* what I see in them. Fun fact: J. is learning Spanish (albeit slowly) by watching Spanish-language soap operas on TV.

- Desert Night FoxBy Tara Zalewsky-NeaseLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
This painting is part of a series of whimsical foxes. For these pieces, Tara has a collection of small toy foxes that she sets up like a still life for reference. I needed a dark background to offset the desert sand and warm hues of the fox, so I added in a dark sky flecked with little stars, Tara explains of this painting. I think of foxes as mystical creatures, leading the viewer to an otherworldly destination.About the Artist
