A Gift from South Africa

My sister and her husband made a trip to South Africa and was able to enjoy several safaris. During her visit, she was educated to the local artworks called "Creative Blocks".  She gifted me one of these paintings.  This one is called "Leopard" by John Smyth. 

I attached the story of the creative blocks concept on the back of the art which I like to do with all my purchased artwork, especially attaching the artist's name or business card.

The eye of a leopard is a window to its soul, a reflection of its primal instincts and feral elegance. In this painting, every detail is meticulously crafted to convey the intensity of the predator's gaze. 

I feel like the artist has managed to encapsulate the raw power and innate beauty of the leopard; a homage to the untamed spirit of the African wilderness and a testament to the beauty and power of nature.
