Roam free and stay safe
R4000,00
In September 2023, a free roaming leopard in Nottingham Road made news headlines. In some people it stirred awe, in some fear—and for me, a sense of the wonder of wild Africa, and sadness. I thought of the statue on Little Lions Head, marking the last leopard seen there in 1937. May this leopard, and others, roam free and stay safe.
The painting holds quiet tension—movement and stillness, shadow and gold, asking what we protect, and what we let disappear.

Description
A sighting of a leopard roaming free in Nottingham Road during September 2023 left some in awe, and some in fear. I for one felt my heart swell with a feeling of wonder, reminiscing of “by gone eras of the wildest of Africa”, romanticised by many. May we not have a statue of a last leopard in our area, like the one in remembrance of the last leopard spotted on Little Lions Head in Cape Town in 1937. May this leopard, and others we are not aware of, roam free and stay safe.
