This artwork was inspired by watching a young leopard surveying the savanna from a Mopani tree at dusk. I wanted to try to capture the intensity of the leopard’s gaze, as well as feature the bark of the tree (the glass used here mimics the real bark as it has a rough/knobbly texture). I have also included a little lizard on the tree trunk, who in turn is covertly watching the vigilant leopard. The watcher is being watched. This smaller, and often overlooked, animal hopefully helps provide a hidden feature alongside the more dominant and charismatic leopard in the artwork.
