Panther & Cub
I painted a black panther and her cub resting quietly in the jungle. I wanted to show a moment that feels calm, but also strong and protective. The mother is watching carefully, making sure her cub is safe, even when everything around them is wild and unknown.
I used bright colours like purple, blue, and green to show that even in the dark, there is still light and life. The jungle is full of movement, but the panthers feel still and focused, like they belong there.
This painting is about protection, trust, and the quiet connection between a parent and child. Even in a big and sometimes scary world, you are not alone if someone is watching over you.
