This big guy isn't part of my Party Animal Series,
but he could have been with that personality!
Grumpy was a beautiful 20 year old Tiger who past
away this last summer. He belonged to the wonderful
angels at In-Sync Exotics Animal Rescue in Wylie, TX.
They are a non-profit that is the last hope for these
exquisite rescued animals.
They acquired Grumpy in the summer of 2010. He was part
of the "Leona 6", 6 Big Cats that were rescued from deplorable
living conditions in Leona, TX. Although Grumpy only lived
another year, his last year was spent in comfort and happiness
for the first time in his life.
I am excited to say that I have received permission from the
owners of In-Sync to paint more of their beautiful cats. I will
try to figure out how to link a Donation button, but until then,
please hit the link above and visit their Website and Blog.

Incredible, Gwen. I can tell this was a labor of love. Have a great 2012.

Beautiful work!! Love the close-up! He looks so cuddly & touchable!
Glad to know you're still getting to paint.
When you're off radar, I wonder.
What a gorgeous painting and the cropping makes it very appealing! Great job! Thank God there are advocates to seek out and rescue maltreated animals. And it's heartening to know that Grumpy was able to know kindness and comfort for the rest of his life.
Beautiful tiger!! Perfect in every way.
An impressive painting Gwen
