Leopard Tree

5.75x6.5 watercolor and ink on wc paper, sketched some time ago, then never finished until now by adding color to the cat.  Up in his perch on a limb he watches for the next prey.

Leopard Prowl

5x7.5 watercolor painted from one of my zoo animal file photos with an imaginary background and foreground.  Splattering was done when dry using a loaded brush with red orange, blue, and mint julep for texture.
