Description
I had a really hard time during the christmas holidays. Some of you know the full details, some of you have bits and pieces, but suffice to say my entire life fell apart right after thanksgiving.I won't go into the details but this group of people pooled together and I damn well feel like they saved my life, not just the holidays for me and my family.
This isnt' the great big painting I want to do as thanks. This is.. a promise of things to come. The start of something big I'm working on that's devoted to these people who kept me from loosing everything this christmas.
So this, and future paintings that will go in this project, are dedicated to (in no particular order):
~XianJaguar
Mumumugen
Anla
Nashya
Hokuto
Molly
=sonettie
Fablespinner
Uminomamori
=windfalcon
~raerae
Kriatyrr
Kseenaa
~lehn
Nicole K.
=telophase
=adri
*croaky
and one anonymous person.
If you're on this list and want your da gallery linked, please let me know. It's late and I THINK I got everyone written down but some people I didn't know their da gallery name so .. they didn't get that part linked. If I missed anyone feel free to shove a note my way.
(done in watercolors and colored pencils, and I'll get a better photograph of it later)

"Genet and Butterfly" doesn't quite have the main street appley-pie appeal of Heart's "Dog and Butterfly", but the image has a lot of similarities.
Of course, then I look it up and find its carnivorous habits...

oh come on, a genet is TOTALLY apple pie golden retriever sweetness!

*grin* As a feline - No golden retriever for you!
Siamese, perhaps, or Persian. But no, no golden retriever.
Besides. They're ferret-like. Including the musk. Stinky kitty!

This is beautiful ^___^ Genets are my favourite in the vivverid family (although I love all vivverids).

Aw, what a beautiful painting! I've always liked the vivverid family (linsangs, genets, civets, etc).

they're so cute! I'd never heard of them before and now i"m like.. AHHH I love them so!! So tiny and adorable! So what's the difference between a linsang and a genet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are few noticeable differences between the species in terms of appearance, besides the obvious markings difference, but linsangs are put into their own subfamily in vivveridae and do live nowhere near genets (whereas common genets live in Africa, linsangs make their home in Asia).

hmm maybe I shuld have done a linsang with the asian setting. DAMN! Well next time *flails*

a beautiful dedication.. and I'm very glad you had a wonderful group to surround you with love and support.

I am very pleased that you found the support you needed. I firmly believe spirit brings what and who we need. Not always perhaps what we might want, but certainly what we need, and you my friend will always be a precious friend and spirit to many folk.
This of course is a truly marvelous and beautiful piece of work, and I think a finer presentation of the spirit of a genet is not to be found.
spirits bless,
Marion

Ah. I was thinking linsang.

well I just spent a stupid amount of time trying to find some web information that tells me the difference between a linsang and a genet. So far with no luck. I'm not sure what the difference IS, since they look alike.

here [link] Genets are in one genus, while linsang are in two others.
Apparently genets are the only members of the family that regularly stand on their hind legs, while linsang are more omnivorous.
Quite a nice piece, when I first saw it I thought of Sime's work that Dunsany liked to write around. I'll have to watch for more in this project.
Good to see you've a good support group, that can really help get one over rough spots, even when all else fails.

I think I love you for that link. *grin* I had no clue and I'm like... 8waves* I dunno,t hey're cute? Though now I'm kind of wishing I went with the asian version for this picture and did an african one for a genet. Mmm maybe next time. And thanks... Sime? I don't think I'm familiar with that artist. I'l have to look that up.

I think linsangs are a subfamily that's more closely related to Felidae, but I could be wrong. It's a cute little arboreal viverrid, one way or the other.

Very excellent. I love the length of the image and the composition is just fantastic. I adore how you did the background... it's really calm and beautiful. And the winged genet is really neat... so cute!
Awesome work overall.
