Those of you who know the book, The Medieval Bestiary will recognize the Pard. Pards were feline animals with spotted coats that were known to be extremely fast, considered as fast as cheetahs. Pards would mate with Lions and have offspring that were Leopards. This is another one of my newer Henri Rousseau influenced paintings. I am working on 2 more at the moment.
This painting is done in ink and watercolor on Aqua Board and is 5″ by 7″. It is framed in a black shadow box frame and is for sale for $250. To purchase click the PayPal link below.
It will be on display at The Art Stable Gallery Westport starting Saturday unless it finds a home sooner.
Here is hoping you can come and meet the artists at our Holiday Open House on Sunday November 18th, 2012 from 2-5PM. It should be a lovely afternoon to browse the gallery and have a glass or two of cheer.
Love this one, especially the red background!
Thank you. I am working up 2 more paintings from my influence by Rousseau and my love of his work. I love this variation on my work and plan to do many more.
Thanks so much. I am enjoying this new style although the paintings are coming slowly.
