"Leopard & Strangler Fig Tree" - orignal oil on canvas by wildlife artist, Jan Stander, measures 22"x33". The theme is a young male leopard lying by a water hole during the heat of the day. The tree to the left is a strangler fig which has taken over and killed its host. The tree to the right and above is a young marula which has just taken root properly. The brown water suggests the very beginning of the rainy season before the grass has turned green but after the trees have already began to flush. This time of year is normally very hot and humid hence the leopard seeking shade. The exposed rocks on the bank show that this stream is prone to flash flooding where soil is removed when not protected by tree roots. Shipping in a professionally packaged tube is included but custom framing (gallery wrapped, framed or otherwise) is at winner's cost. janstander75@gmail.com
