Deb and I recently visited a forested area in north central Florida where we happened upon this bobcat as it was wondering about a tree not too far from where we stood. Finally it settled on one of the tallest branches. Needless to say we started photographing this beauty as fast as we could.

The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a North American cat that appeared during the Irvingtonian stage of around 1.8 million years ago. Containing 12 recognized subspecies, it ranges from southern Canada to central Mexico, including most of the contiguous United States. The bobcat is an adaptable predator that inhabits wooded areas, as well as semi-desert, urban edge, forest edge, and swampland environments. It remains in some of its original range, but populations are vulnerable to local extinction ("extirpation") by coyotes and domestic animals. With a gray to brown coat, whiskered face, and black-tufted ears, the bobcat resembles the other species of the midsized Lynx genus. It is smaller on average than the Canada lynx, with which it shares parts of its range, but is about twice as large as the domestic cat. It has distinctive black bars on its forelegs and a black-tipped, stubby tail, from which it derives its name.

Of course, I'm sure you noticed this is more than a simple photograph. This is another of my (Bill) oil works. I started with a copy of the original photograph and then "painted" it with a digital oil brush to achieve the look you see, which is why it is called a photo-painting by most people or artists. Hopefully, most of you will like it.
