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.
This original painting, one of a kind, professionally framed, is available and ready to find its home.
