My kingdom for a melanistic leopard cougar! :crown: Sensing a theme yet?! Could it be black cougar?! LOL.
I SEEN a black cougar many moons ago, when I was only young, MAYBE around 10-12 yrs old? Or a bit older….
I was home, and was outside wandering around as usual, as I loved the outdoors. We lived embedded in the woods, with the only other house in sight being way on the other side of the road way up on a hill. We could see the main road from our house to, but it was down a pretty steep hill.
Anywho, I had gotten an instant polaroid camera that year for Christmas, and was always trying to get pics of neat things with it, and had even gotten my sister with a chickadee perched on her hand, after birdseed. The thing being so SLOW at taking pictures made it more of a challenge I think, LOL!
That summer, I had OF COURSE forgotten the camera inside, and was outside doing what-not, when I spot right at the edge of the woods, behind the house, the large black cat, with a long tail. The thing just stood there looking at me. I was frustrated since I didnt have my camera with me, cause I knew if I ran to get it then come back out that it would be gone. So I started waving and shooing the thing away, being a kid and all, I was trying to tell it to git since it was too late for me to get a pic. Ahhh… being a kid and not realizing the dangers one could have been in eh?
I remember after it walked off as if I didnt even exist, running inside to tell Mom and Dad, and they were like “Oh yeah? A Black cougar eh?”….. I vaguely remember they questioned what I saw, and figured it was just a big house cat…..
To this very day I know I saw a black cougar. I remember years later googling it, and seeing that over the years there were indeed sightings of these around here in Nova Scotia, occasionally, but nothing ever confirmed by officials, or course.
I have had a lot of strange experiences like that as a kid… and recalling them now when Im older, they are so distant they almost feel like they had to have been a dream…… but I swear I saw one ! And I do feel a spiritual connection to cougars because of this sighting. 😀
Wow, Im just blown away by everyones swap piece ! I love them all !!! Everyone was so creative and painted with such detail ! Im very impressed !
Im just curious though, is that all of them? Was I the only one to request “Psychedelic” colors?
Gorgeous colors ! You did an awesome job on him 🙂
I also love the eyes, did they come from Windstone?
soooo…..
When can we start the next swap !!!??? This one was so much fun !! I really like being able to paint something in a theme for someone else, instead of trying to decide entirely myself… it gives me more of a direction to take, instead of sitting and looking at a blank PYO and having no idea how I want to paint him.. lol !
So, when is the next one? LOL!
Whew! Amstaff, I’m so happy she got there safe and sound and through customs and, most of all, that you like her. I had fun painting your uni and painted her sister at the same time. She’s a little more subdued than Addi:
So many gorgeous pieces everybody. 🙂
Ohh she has a sister ! Awesome !
Can I ask, how you got her paint to go like that? Is it a black base coat, then dry brushing over? Or is it antiquing with black? Oh, and to paint the horn, did you have to prime it with anything? You did an awesome job on her, I have her sitting right her next to me at the computer so I can keep looking at her, lol !
Amstaff, nice line work on your detailing. SO clean and even looking! I have to ask what tool did you use besides really steady hands!?
Thank you 🙂 A small brush and steady hands yup, that is all ! And a little wet paper towel in case I messed up and had to start over, lol ! I had a friend assume I used a stencil ! LOL! I had to tell her otherwise 🙂
Soooo… I got mine today !! And you know, I didnt really know what to expect, as I had requested Psychedelic colors, but also gave the painter other options if they couldnt do the psychedelic. I really wasnt sure if I would get something that would really speak to me or not, but I knew I would like it either way…
But I was VERY pleasantly surprised by the piece I received, as it blew me away !! It is TOTALLY my style, it is perfect! I had requested a darker type of psychedelic, as I didnt want anything too “Care-Beary” in style, lol !! , and this girl is just amazing !!! I LOVE HER !!!
Thank you so much !! Pegasus4240 (Angie)… you did an awesome job !! I adore her to bits !! I think this girls name is “Addi” as that is what was written on her felt pad 🙂 Oh, and I loved the little sketch you included with her !! Thank you !!
She totally looks like a Unicorn that I would expect to encounter in “Alice in Wonderland” ! I can see her now wandering through the dark forest, maybe surrounded by giant magical mushrooms 🙂
The pics just dont do her justice… she is a mix of greens and purples, her colors are amazing 🙂
Yeah, seeing these pics made me want one even more, he is beautiful !! Im glad I got to snag one with this 2nd batch 🙂
Im glad you like her, I was worried about the pink, as some people hate it and some love it 😉 I figured it would be ok as you had said either a spring or summer themed Unicorn.
Here are a few shots I took :
I do hope she made it in perfect shape. I was worried that some of her gems may come loose.
I dont know how many cougars there were, but they are down to 9 already from the looks of it …. although Im sure some are just playing in peoples carts for a little while, lol !
My wallet is screaming bloody murder at me right now…. 🙁 ….. but Ima grinning anyways! LOL ! 😀
