The Cheetah

18" x 24" Oil Painting on Wood

Cheetahs are remarkable animals. You may know they are the fastest land mammals — reaching nearly 65 miles per hour at their top speed! This kitty depicted here though was very much put on the brakes for a nice cat nap. A dear friend of mine took a photograph of her resting like this and sent it to me asking that I paint her in such a peaceful state. Hmm... looking at her now that her painting is finished makes me want to lay down myself and get some rest too. :) Sweet dreams, our furry friend.
