CHEETAHS OF THE MAASAI MARA 30x32 inches.

This was one of the scenes that greeted me as soon as I arrived in the Mara. Late evening, when the sun was just going down, two cheetahs just sitting there! I have created a stronger composition than reality by moving them closer together and adding a soft shadow across the foreground, helping to focus the eye on the cheetahs’ faces. I made a small pencil sketch of the lighting before painting. The cheetah is always an appealing subject for me to paint.
