Heritage

For: 'Magnum Opus XXIII ' show
Put on by: Sacramento Fine Arts Center Open Juried Exhibition

This is meant for an upcoming competition that I am planning on entering (delivery date is this Friday and Saturday). Originally I had no idea what to do so had asked my mom for a suggestion and she came up with doing a wild cat such as a leopard or cheetah. Going through my ever growing reference folders, I saw a picture of a snow leopard and had the thought of "Hmm.. what kind of theme should I do? Onward to Google!" During a search, came across this wikipedia entry:

Snow Leopard - The snow leopard (Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia) is a moderately large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia... [link]

"Well I can work with that"
So this is the reason why this painting ended up as Asian inspired as it did.

Materials Used:
watercolors
watercolor paper (8x10 inches)

7/24/2012 I would like to announce that this painting was accepted into the show Magnus Opus XXIII being put on by the Sacramento Fine Arts Center.
