Bobcat art is a category of art that shows wild felines, usually in their natural environment. These forest animal prints vary from admiring portraits of a reclusive feline to hunting scene paintings that display these noble creatures as hardy predators.
These feline pictures are also unique in that bobcats are often treated with utmost seriousness and respect, rather than the whimsical depictions that often characterize images of their domesticated counterparts.
These forest animal prints are unique due to the shy nature of these animals. For many audiences, they are only able to see these reclusive felines in pictures, such as 'Close-Up of a Bobcat (Lynx Rufus) by Panoramic Images. Because of the rarity of these animals in urban landscapes, wildlife images provide viewers with valuable information about what these animals look like, where they live, and how they act.
Like many feline pictures, bobcat art shows these wild animals at all stages of life. From kittens to full grown bobcats, these forest animal prints are beautifully and sensitively executed. Works such as 'Bobcat Kittens' by Don Balke are reminiscent of the thoroughness that artists use to capture these reclusive animals.
Many bobcat prints are used not only in households but also in hunting lodges. Because the bobcat is known for being not only hard to locate but also ferocious when cornered, many hunting scene paintings depict bobcats. For hunters, these small predators are often symbolic of a good quarry, and therefore, a good hunt.
