Acrylic and oil on canvas - tray framed in white wood 
30x40"
 
Inspired by nights camping in the Pantanal, the painting depicts the thrill and fear of arriving at night and knowing the possibility of what is out there and quietly watching you!
 
My passion for painting nature with elements of design is shown in this piece. The symmetry of the Birds of Paradise and geometrically painted blades of grass, frame the jaguar's face and projects against the flat blue acrylic ground.
 
The Birds of Paradise are painted in oil and acrylic, adding an element of beauty to the artwork, but it is the eyes of the jaguar that draw you in! 
 
Using a combination of acrylic and oil, transporting you into the Pantanal.
