⭐ THE CATS OF BIG BEND ✨ historic & modern edition!

This time I also included some of the historical cats of Big Bend National Park. The jaguar, jaguarundi, and ocelot are considered extremely rare or extirpated from the park and region. Today, you are much more likely to spot a mountain lion or a bobcat, but both are incredibly elusive.

This is an art series I am interested in continuing. Do you have any suggestions for national parks around the world with multiple native cat species? If so, I'd love to hear them for future similar drawing ideas!

Tapestry of the Stars...

We’re slipping into that sacred stretch of the year when the spine of the galaxy reveals itself… when the Milky Way’s glowing heart rises like a quiet fire across the dark.

Leave the cities behind. Let their electric constellations fade in your rearview.

Go where the night still breathes.

Stand beneath the vast silence of Yosemite National Park, or wander into the velvet darkness of Big Bend, where the stars don’t just shine… they press close, like they’ve been waiting for you.

Out there, the sky isn’t something you look at... it’s something you step into.

Goodnight & sweetest dreams.
