Golden Cheetah
Another encaustic painting. This is 6" x 8" encaustic and 23Kt. gold leaf on panel. I was trying to convey the camouflage aspect of being a cheetah - catching the golden light on the savannah.
I grew up in Africa, and I am most interested in depicting African subject matter. I am a classically trained artist (translation: heavy on anatomy, perspective, and understanding value) working in encaustics, oil, watercolor, and various drawing media. I teach drawing and painting in Boulder, Colorado. I am committed to the "painting a day" habit because it is a no excuses road to "being" a painter. Painting all day all the time is now my lifestyle.
