Work in progress on another large painting I started a couple of weeks ago. It's coming along.
I think I was inspired a little by that picture of the woman in wartorn Ukraine, and the fierce cat on her shoulder, because after I saw it, this tiger showed up. The whole painting is much larger.
"You, #Bacchus [Dionysos], from thyrsus-bearing India, with unshorn locks, perpetually young, you who frightens tigers with your vine-clad spear, and with a turban you bind your horned head." #Seneca, Phaedra 753
Well well, some new residents in the zoo. Actually they are two but the other one didn't really want to present more than his butt to the visitors so this one will have to do.
On a side note, they do have a really dedicated hair stylist, just look at that perfectly groomed mane!
Unfortunately, being the rock stars and picky kittens they are, the building with my personal fennecs is closed off, so I have to wait until Sir Lion is comfy with his new enclosure.
A few more impressions from the zoo with this absolute unit fur seal. Not sure it needs more fish but it's still besieging the door of food and wonders.
And there I thought tigers love the water but he seemed to be very careful to not step into it when crossing this little water.
The antelopes seemed really annoyed by all the flies. Most of them finally gave up but this one is still trying to fight them back. I am not really sure what species it is though, none of the ones listed on the zoo's website match. So I will just call them mystery antelopes. And the squirrels were up to no good as usual. And chasing one another around a tree trunk after this photo.
