Silent Descent, oil on canvas 42 x18

Late in the day this lovely female leopard silently slipped out of the tree she had been resting in all day, headed for a night's hunting.  It all happened so quickly and silently it would have been easy to miss.  This piece is my contribution for Trailside Galleries 50th Anniversary, congratulations to them, what a wonderful achievement...

Beside the Termite Mound, oil on canvas 20 x 45

We saw this handsome couple when we were last at Mombo Camp in Botswana.   They were part of a large pride and she had some small cubs that I was initially going to have in the painting but I decided to keep it simple, the old rule of "if it doesn't add to a painting it probably takes away from it" definitely applied. This is my major piece for Western Visions at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Sept this year
