Snow Leopard; Phantom of the Peaks
NOT CURRENTLY FOR SALE (This piece has been submitted to the DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year 2025 Competition)
“Phantom of the Peaks” 22 × 30” watercolor on paper.
Painting exclusively in black, I find I can push contrast, tones and light in ways that might look unnatural in color but feel cohesive in a monochromatic palette. This watercolour Snow Leopard was a combination of disciple and spontaneity in celebration of such a majestic species.
This ever-expanding watercolor collection of black-and-white photorealistic wildlife captures the raw beauty of nature with striking detail and expressive fluidity while the surrounding environment dissolves into a dreamlike, atmospheric wash. The interplay of deep shadows and soft highlights evokes a timeless, almost cinematic quality, making each piece feel both intimate and untamed.
Painted to the edge, you have the option of float mounting to display the deckled edge, or under a mat for a more photo-realistic effect.
