16 x 24"

I painted this image after seeing a bobcat on a trail at the Morris Graves Foundation. The wildcat that I actually saw was sunning himself when I came upon him. He sat for quite awhile before turning tail and moving on. I was struck by his rough beauty and grace.

Panthera is working to ensure that tigers remain in the wild forever. Panthera's CEO, Dr. Alan Rabinowitz, was instrumental in creating the world’s largest tiger reserve in Myanmar – the Hukaung Valley Tiger Reserve, and today, under the directorship of Dr. Joe Smith, Panthera is leading tiger conservation efforts with two major initiatives: Tigers Forever and the Tiger Corridor Initiative. Through these programs, Panthera is working to protect and secure key tiger populations, and ensure connectivity between sites so that tigers can live long into the future.

Panthera will promote our Tiger Show to benefit them, in April 2012. See previous post.
