Lara has been connected to the animal world since her early life, studying Biology, volunteering with Animal Department at the Living Desert, and helping abandoned and endangered animals through various organizations. Through her work with animals, she started gaining interest in art and decided to pursue the calling of an artist.

Lara’s art career, however, remained connected with the animals, as they are the primary subjects of her works.

Thanks to her familiarity with the animal world and wildlife, Lara creates highly detailed and realistic portraits of tigers, lions, flamingos, and various other animal species. This brought her significant popularity in the art world, and her artworks have made it to galleries all around the world.

This kitty named Minou (meaning kitty in French 😁) is a commission I made last year, in the good company of the family’s papyrus. The children were delighted to see their beloved cat drawn and they even find it prettier than the real one 😂 ⠀ Like you may have already noticed, I have a lot of commissions of a cat portrait with plants ! It seems like it is a very popular combination !

“For me, this is the perfect job, but the thing I love most about it is when people see their pet’s portrait for the first time, and it makes them so happy,” the artist shared on Bored Panda and added that she has found her aesthetic.

“My style has evolved throughout these years to achieve what I realize today: semi-realistic illustrations in a soft and rounded style full of life thanks to bright colors, combining watercolors and colored pencils, always linked to the animal world and nature.”

Je n’ai encore jamais eu l’occasion de tirer le portrait d’un reptile, alors je me suis rattrapée en faisant une Tortue d’Hermann, bien connue dans le Var (où j’habite actuellement), dernier département français (hors Corse) où elle est encore présente.

Si c’est le cas, contactez la @soptom_officiel qui pourra vous renseigner sur les bons gestes à adopter.⠀ 👉 Vous pouvez trouver cette illustration sous forme de reproduction dans la Greeny-boutique (lien dans la bio) 😉⠀ Delphine⠀ ***⠀ 🇬🇧 I never had the chance to have a commission for a reptile’s portait yet, so I did a Hermann’s Tortoise to correct the fact I didn’t have any reptiles in my portfolio 😅 This specie lives only in Southern Europe, from Eastern Spain to Greece.

Unfortunately, the species is threatened because of habitat loss, accidents (with dogs, cars or gardening tools) and also well-meaning people who think that the tortoises will be safer in their garden 😞⠀ If you meet a Hermann’s Tortoise during your trip to Southern Europe, don’t pick it up if it not hurt !

Inktober Jour 3 – Le Vison d’Europe (Mustela lutreola) est un petit mammifère semi-aquatique en « danger critique d’extinction » selon l’UICN. Autrefois largement répandu en Europe, il est de nos jours cantonné à quelques petites populations dans certains pays d’Europe (France, Espagne, Roumanie, Russie et Ukraine). Il a été largement chassé pour sa fourrure jusqu’au milieu du 20eme siècle, puis son habitat a été impacté et l’est encore par les changements de pratiques agricoles, il subit la concurrence du Vison d’Amérique, échappé des fermes à fourrure. Il existe plusieurs programmes de conservation du vison d’Europe dans certains pays, et une population a été réintroduite sur l’île Hiiumaa en Estonie.⠀ 💡Nous avons choisi cette espèce pour le thème #bait (appât) car ce vison a longtemps été piégé (probablement à l’aide d’appâts👍🏼) pour sa fourrure et continue de l’être accidentellement dans les pièges destinés à capturer des espèces dites « nuisibles »…💡⠀ ***⠀ 🇬🇧 Inktober Day 3 – The European Mink (Mustela lutreola) is a small semi-aquatic mammal, « Critically Endangered » according to the UICN. Once widely spread throughout Europe, it occurs nowadays only in small patches of populations in some European countries (France, Spain, Romania, Russia and Ukraine). It has been largely hunted for its fur until the middle of the 20th century, then its habitat has been and still is impacted by changes in agricultural practices, and it now suffers from competition from the American Mink, escaped from fur farms.⠀ Several conservation programs exists in some European countries, and a population has been reintroduced in the Hiiumaa Island in Estonia. ⠀ 💡 We chose this species for the prompt #bait of the official Inktober list because it has been trapped for a long time (probably using baits 👍🏼) for its fur and still accidentally is in the traps aiming to catch « injurious » species… 💡⠀ ***⠀ #inktober #inktober2019 #greenyinktober #ink #vison #mink #europeanmink #visondeurope #mustelalutreola #cute #animaldrawing #animalconservation #threatenedanimals #iucnredlist #biodiversity #saveourplanet #inkdrawings #dailyanimaldrawings #artchallenge @foundation_lutreola

Inktober Jour 2 – Le Rhinocéros de Sumatra (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) est classé en « danger critique d’extinction » selon l’UICN. Autrefois largement répandu dans une partie de l’Asie du sud est, il est aujourd’hui représenté par quelques populations vivant à Sumatra, Bornéo et dans la péninsule malaisienne. L’espèce a été décimée par le braconnage à cause des propriétés attribuées à sa corne et à d’autres parties de son corps par la médecine chinoise. Sa survie est très compromise avec un nombre d’individus estimé à environ 80, et des populations très réduites et fragmentées, ce qui a un impact très important sur la viabilité de l’espèce. Des programmes de conservation existent in situ, mais aussi en captivité.⠀ 💡Nous avons choisi cette espèce pour le thème #mindless (irréfléchi, stupide) à cause de la raison pour laquelle elle est braconnée (il n’y pas besoin de plus d’explications !)💡⠀ ⠀ ***⠀ 🇬🇧 Inktober Jour 2 – The Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) is considered as « Critically Endangered » by the IUCN. Once widely spread in a part of South Eastern Asia, it occurs now only in Sumatra, Borneo and the Malaysian peninsula in very few populations. This species was decimated by poaching for the supposedly medicinal properties of its horns and other body parts in Chinese medicine. The species survival is uncertain because of the number of about 80 individuals left in the wild and the very reduced and fragmented populations. Conservation programs are implemented in situ but also in captivity.⠀ 💡We chose this species for the prompt #mindless of the official Inktober list because of the reason why they are poached (there no need for further explanations !)💡⠀ ***⠀ #inktober #inktober2019 #greenyinktober #mindless #rhino #sumatranrhino #rhinoceros #sumatra #indonesia #malaysia #asia #asie #tropical #nature #endangeredspecies #stoppoaching @rhinosirf #savetherhino #internationalrhinofoundation @savetherhinointernational #animaldrawing #animalart #inkdrawings

If you ever wanted to honor your pet in a special way, or you want to buy a gift for your friend who loves animals, we’ve found the perfect way to do this. Thanks to artist Claire Marie, you can now get a unique pair of shoes with a portrait of your pet on them.

This talented Welsh-born artist who is currently residing in Perth, Australia has been creating adorable shoes with hand-painted portraits of animals for the past six years.

“Art has always been an integral part of my life, and I have a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Visual Art,” the artist told Bored Panda. “My favorite medium to paint in is acrylic on a variety of different objects and surfaces. My style is quite detailed and I have a passion for painting tiny works of art”.

Marie is also illustrating children’s books and large murals, but we guess that creating something so unique like these shoes, must bring a special joy to her. She has her own business called *The Little Treasure Company* and you can order all of her merchandise online.

Take a look at Claire Marie’s work below.

Carol Gillan specializes in oil paintings of wildlife, farm animals, and pets. Her portraits highlight the individual character and personality of the animal; the background of the image is done with a solid background color, to put the spotlight on the animal.

“It’s my aim to bring the viewer face to face with a living, breathing animal, to make you smile as co-conspirators, want to ruffle their hair, laugh or take them home!” Carol Gillan wrote on her website.

Gillan paints thin layers on the canvas to build up the image, resulting in a lifelike representation of the subject. “She employs the medium of oil because it adds depth to each image, enabling her to portray the texture of an animals coat, the shadows of its muscle tone, and especially its personality, humor which she believes can be conveyed through the expression in its eyes.”

Her striking animal portraits have been exhibited across the UK, Australia, and Europe. She was awarded first place in the DeMontfort New Artist competition and her work has been licensed worldwide.

Check out some of her amazing oil paintings below.

It has been largely hunted for its fur until the middle of the 20th century, then its habitat has been and still is impacted by changes in agricultural practices, and it now suffers from competition from the American Mink, escaped from fur farms.⠀ Several conservation programs exists in some European countries, and a population has been reintroduced in the Hiiumaa Island in Estonia. ⠀ 💡 We chose this species for the prompt #bait of the official Inktober list because it has been trapped for a long time (probably using baits 👍🏼) for its fur and still accidentally is in the traps aiming to catch « injurious » species… 💡⠀ ***⠀ #inktober #inktober2019 #greenyinktober #ink #vison #mink #europeanmink #visondeurope #mustelalutreola #cute #animaldrawing #animalconservation #threatenedanimals #iucnredlist #biodiversity #saveourplanet #inkdrawings #dailyanimaldrawings #artchallenge @foundation_lutreola

Inktober Jour 2 – Le Rhinocéros de Sumatra (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) est classé en « danger critique d’extinction » selon l’UICN. Autrefois largement répandu dans une partie de l’Asie du sud est, il est aujourd’hui représenté par quelques populations vivant à Sumatra, Bornéo et dans la péninsule malaisienne. L’espèce a été décimée par le braconnage à cause des propriétés attribuées à sa corne et à d’autres parties de son corps par la médecine chinoise. Sa survie est très compromise avec un nombre d’individus estimé à environ 80, et des populations très réduites et fragmentées, ce qui a un impact très important sur la viabilité de l’espèce. Des programmes de conservation existent in situ, mais aussi en captivité.⠀ 💡Nous avons choisi cette espèce pour le thème #mindless (irréfléchi, stupide) à cause de la raison pour laquelle elle est braconnée (il n’y pas besoin de plus d’explications !)💡⠀ ⠀ ***⠀ 🇬🇧 Inktober Jour 2 – The Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) is considered as « Critically Endangered » by the IUCN. Once widely spread in a part of South Eastern Asia, it occurs now only in Sumatra, Borneo and the Malaysian peninsula in very few populations. This species was decimated by poaching for the supposedly medicinal properties of its horns and other body parts in Chinese medicine. The species survival is uncertain because of the number of about 80 individuals left in the wild and the very reduced and fragmented populations. Conservation programs are implemented in situ but also in captivity.⠀ 💡We chose this species for the prompt #mindless of the official Inktober list because of the reason why they are poached (there no need for further explanations !)💡⠀ ***⠀ #inktober #inktober2019 #greenyinktober #mindless #rhino #sumatranrhino #rhinoceros #sumatra #indonesia #malaysia #asia #asie #tropical #nature #endangeredspecies #stoppoaching @rhinosirf #savetherhino #internationalrhinofoundation @savetherhinointernational #animaldrawing #animalart #inkdrawings

If you ever wanted to honor your pet in a special way, or you want to buy a gift for your friend who loves animals, we’ve found the perfect way to do this. Thanks to artist Claire Marie, you can now get a unique pair of shoes with a portrait of your pet on them.

This talented Welsh-born artist who is currently residing in Perth, Australia has been creating adorable shoes with hand-painted portraits of animals for the past six years.

“Art has always been an integral part of my life, and I have a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Visual Art,” the artist told Bored Panda. “My favorite medium to paint in is acrylic on a variety of different objects and surfaces. My style is quite detailed and I have a passion for painting tiny works of art”.

Marie is also illustrating children’s books and large murals, but we guess that creating something so unique like these shoes, must bring a special joy to her. She has her own business called *The Little Treasure Company* and you can order all of her merchandise online.

Take a look at Claire Marie’s work below.

Carol Gillan specializes in oil paintings of wildlife, farm animals, and pets. Her portraits highlight the individual character and personality of the animal; the background of the image is done with a solid background color, to put the spotlight on the animal.

“It’s my aim to bring the viewer face to face with a living, breathing animal, to make you smile as co-conspirators, want to ruffle their hair, laugh or take them home!” Carol Gillan wrote on her website.

Gillan paints thin layers on the canvas to build up the image, resulting in a lifelike representation of the subject. “She employs the medium of oil because it adds depth to each image, enabling her to portray the texture of an animals coat, the shadows of its muscle tone, and especially its personality, humor which she believes can be conveyed through the expression in its eyes.”

Her striking animal portraits have been exhibited across the UK, Australia, and Europe. She was awarded first place in the DeMontfort New Artist competition and her work has been licensed worldwide.

Check out some of her amazing oil paintings below.
