Golden Eagle Art Gallery is pleased to offer an extensive collection of world-renowned artworks by Canadian wildlife artist, Robert Bateman. World-travelled and well versed, Bateman always tells a great story about each of his creations. Here is what he has to say about this piece:
"Leopards lurk. Leopards see us many, many times more often than we see them. I have placed the leopard in the cleft of the granite cliff in Namibia with the sunlit bare branches of the fig tree in front. My real joy in doing this painting was to show the light glancing across the texture of the rock and to play with the forms and textures and warm colours. These plus the tree and the leopard, speak to me of the soul of Africa."
