The puma is the most abundant feline in America. Both size and coloration vary geographically; In Argentina the Patagonia specimens are larger, with denser fur and a grayish or fawn color and to the north they are smaller and reddish in color. Usually as they move away from the Ecuador they are larger. Usually the Puma is solitary and preferably crepuscular and nocturnal habits, with peaks of activity at dusk and dawn; He spends most of the day resting in rocky cavities, perched on the branches of trees, or hidden among tall grasses. Of fast and silent movements, it is a fast runner, very powerful in the jump and a skilful swimmer; Climb the trees with agility, being able to climb or descend from them with a single jump of more than 10 meters. Consume a wide variety of prey being considered a generalist; Insects, small and medium reptiles, birds, mammals, etc. they are part of your diet. In Argentina it includes mulitas, lizards, hares, monkeys, peccaries, corzuelas, ñandúes, guanacos, vicuñas, huemules and domestic animals, this last one brings serious conflicts with the man, although generally the specimens that kill are the weakest, sick or not viable for bad management. I have made several paintings of pumas in different poses and situations, it is one of my favorite cats !!

  • *El puma es el gran felino mas abundante de America. Tanto el tamaño como la coloración varían geográficamente; En Argentina los ejemplares de la Patagonia son más grandes, de pelaje más denso y de color grisáceo o leonado y hacia el norte son de menor tamaño y de coloración rojiza. Por lo general a medida que se alejan del Ecuador son de mayor tamaño. Por lo general el Puma es solitario y de hábitos preferentemente crepusculares y nocturnos, con picos de actividad al anochecer y al amanecer; pasa la mayor parte del día descansando en oquedades rocosas, encaramado en las ramas de los árboles, o escondido entre pastos altos. De movimientos rápidos y silenciosos, es un corredor veloz, muy poderoso en el salto y un hábil nadador; trepa a los árboles con agilidad, pudiendo subir o bajar de ellos con un solo salto de más de 10 metros. Consume una amplia variedad de presas siendo considerado un generalista; Insectos, pequeños y medianos reptiles, aves, mamíferos, etc. forman parte de su dieta. En Argentina incluye mulitas, lagartijas, liebres, monos, pecaríes, corzuelas, ñandúes, guanacos, vicuñas, huemules y animales domésticos, esto último acarrea serios conflictos con el hombre, aunque generalmente los ejemplares que mata son los más débiles, enfermos o no viables por un mal manejo. He realizado varias pinturas de pumas en distintas poses y situaciones, es uno de mis felinos preferidos!! *

Yes, you're right, but many of my artworks are old and I do not have photos of the process. Thank you very much for your comment!!

What about the wolf painting, do you have steps of them if it is new. I would really like to see the steps of that one. If there is you can edit and always put the steps. love your paintings.

From some paintings I have the steps and from others I do not. I do not have this puma, I'm sorry.
