A majestic leopard peeks from the foliage. Let's hope what he has spotted sees him too!

Shankar was an orphaned leopard cub. He and his sister Jiya were taken in after their mom was fatally injured while hunting. Shankar is a very active male who has won the heart of our keepers. When things are busy or tense Shankar will almost always make them laugh. He has some of the funniest expressions you will ever see on a leopard (but we don't tell him that to his face).

Size: Original watercolor in 8 x 10 inch mat.

About the Artist: Belinda Stewart lives in St. Augustine, Florida. She works in all mediums but favors watercolors. She studied in private classes with famed watercolorist Mun Quan and art classes at Jacksonville University. All her watercolors are painted on professional Arches watercolor paper with Windsor Newton paints.

From the Artist: "Wildlife SOS has captured my heart with their ongoing love and care for all the animals retiring at their sanctuaries. From freeing Raju from chains and the legal battles to rescue sweet Mohan, it is an ongoing endeavor to save as many as possible. Since being retired, it has been pure joy seeing a photo posted of an elephant, bear or leopard and setting it aside to become inspiration for my watercolors and acrylics."
