AMERICAS WILD CATS

This is a highly-detailed painting, created specifically for print publication. Although the jaguar himself is painted in exquisite detail, the background could best be described as 'soft focus'. There is no sharp detail to distract the viewer from the jaguar himself, and the lush foliage provides a frame for the big cat. "The jaguar is a very strong, muscular cat with a large bearlike skull. They are incredibly powerful animals and do not have to take their prey into trees like leopards. They simply have no one in their environment big enough to push them around excepting of course man. This fellow is resting in a secluded area ever watchful should any opportunity come his way."
