About this Collection
Although now primarily a glass artist, Jill's first love was Pastels. This step by step article appeared in Paint & Draw magazine back in 2016.
I loved the vibrancy of this piece and the intense stare. This was a reference image shot by JT at the Big Cat Sanctuary. The rangers had added old fir trees and Christmas trees to the enclosure. Apparently one of the Leopards' favourite things. The decaying colours gave an amazingly coloured background and camouflage for the Leopards. This particular one had a very intense stare and very beautiful eyes.
