Cheetah Cub I, Wildlife Painting

Cheetah Cub I, chalk pastel on board

The original painting was of a cheetah family, the mother and 3 cubs. It was OK. But as time went on, I began to hate the way I had painted the mother, and the composition stopped working for me; so I cut it up.

I now have two cheetah cub paintings that I am much happier with. This is the first.

I'll post the second one at a later date.

Silverback, Gorilla, Wildlife Painting

I love silverbacks. I love gorillas; so I drew one.

Finished, and I've included my first ever video of my work too! Winter wolf is for sale on both Etsy and Folksy.

Winter Wolf 2, Wildlife Painting

I realised after a while that I needed to redraw the ear. Sooner rather than later.

I have started working on a wolf, just because I love them. More stages to come.
