8 x 8" Oil on 1.5" Canvas 

“This one’s called Josie.”

She’s small, rare, and completely enchanting—an ocelot cub tucked into the snow, eyes wide with wonder.

I painted Josie to capture a quieter kind of magic—the kind that lives in fresh snowfall and curious hearts. Her blue eyes hold a softness, a sense of discovery, as if every snowflake is a story. With her spotted coat and playful pose, she brings a spark of wild charm to winter’s stillness.

As the final piece in my Faces of Felidae: Winter Edition, Josie adds something uniquely special to the collection—a celebration of the lesser-seen, the tender, the quietly magical.

Let her curiosity warm your space and remind you that even the smallest voices in nature carry awe.

She’s not just a painting—she’s winter, wide-eyed and full of wonder.
