This was painted following a challenge to paint a spotted big cat. I encountered the very striking cat on the left some 8 years ago at a wildlife park in Kent and thought he would make a very good subject. I had never seen a cheetah with such dark markings before; it looks like he'd had his nose in a pile of soot!. To emphasise this I decided to include the portrait of a cheetah with more usual markings. The painting is 10" x 14" approx. and is pastel on velour paper.
