This is a small snow leopard painting that I recently finished – watercolor on ivorine. \u00a0The head of the cat is just about 2 inches height\/width. \u00a0Being one of the smaller miniatures<\/a>, it didn’t spend a lot of extra time on my easel, just a few days – one thing that I do like about painting the smaller ones. ;)<\/p>\n

I’ve been wanting to paint another big cat, a snow leopard inparticular, for some time – I think it’s been about a year since I painted one. \u00a0I love big cats and the intense expressions that they have. \u00a0It’s such a challenge to capture their look in a painting. \u00a0Snow leopards are so beautiful with all of the soft grays in their fur that contrast with the crisp black spotting – very fun to paint. :D<\/p>\n

Being that these beautiful cats are an endangered species, it makes painting them a little more special. \u00a0The Snow Leopard Trust has done a lot to help these cats through donations and volunteers –\u00a0http:\/\/www.snowleopard.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n
