Leopard Tree

A majestic portrait of a big cat basking in dappled light, Leopard Tree captures the quiet elegance of a leopard resting in the branches of a sausage tree.

With its masterful balance of light, shadow, and natural poise, this piece holds a special place in the artist’s personal collection.
