Juba and Jolly - Cheetah Boys

A2 sized canvas and painted in oils. Titled after two cheetah cubs that I helped look after in moholoholo, south africa. They were the two boys of a litter of 5 cubs of the resident cheetah Pawche. They have the job of educating people about the importance of conservation ie in schools. Its been a whle since I was there they are adults now and no longer cubs. The cheetah is the rarest of the big cats in africa suffering from very little genetic diversity and at full speed it can move 7m in a stride.

I think you are an up and coming wildlife painter,you have accomplished much in such a short while,good luck with your interest and help with conservation issues,I try to give as much as I can to animal charities,one of my favorites is Tiger Haven.
