Big Cat Pictures
Pictures of big cats have allways been popular. Lions, tigers, leopards and cougars fill us with awe and inspiration. David has allways enjoyed drawing these majestic animals whose coats often form the focus for his art.
Lion Picture
Lions are not David's favourite of the big cats and he has always been told to avoid them like the plague as
many people do not like them either. After having enormous success with an Indian lion in his piece, 'It's a
Hard Life' he thought it only fair to pay some attention to its African cousin. Lions are notoriously difficult
to compose in a picture but they always look great head on.
Tiger Picture
This is without a doubt the fastest selling print that David has released to date. We can never understand
the reasons that make one picture more popular than another, in this case the subject matter obviously
had a lot to do with it. David chose to draw a Sumatran Tiger as he felt that they were heavily under
represented in the field of wildlife art and it would be good to show how different they are to the more
commonly seen tigers.
Lynx Picture
The expression on the face of this picture proved too menacing for some people. The expression on the
cat's face is actually the same face a domestic cat gives when it is using it's powerful sense, otfen opening
it's mouth with it's tongue slightly protruding like that of a panting dog.
Tiger Cub Picture
Having drawn so many tigers before David thought it might be interesting to capture one in a pose of play.
We would like to think that he has just captured the moment before the pounce.
Tiger Illustrated
This tiger drawing was commissioned by the charity 'Hope' to raise money for research into a vaccine
for meningitis. The brief David was given was to draw a piece involving commercial wildlife and to
somehow incorporate the logo of the charity, a butterfly. It is a pleasing result with a title that aptly named
an animal in terrible decline, David hope the cub is a sign of hope for it's very uncertain future.
Cougar Picture
After drawing a cougar David knew he had another of these beautiful cats in him and convinced that
he could do better he revisited the subject. This time around he has managed to get closer to the
animal and captured the lovely areas you get on the pelt of a smooth furred animal where it divides
to form a tiny canyon.
Leopard Picture
This print measures 360mm x 440 mm and is limited to a run of 495.
Leopard Print
Having drawn so many leopards one could be forgiven in thinking that David names his pieces after
locations. In actual fact he will try, whenever possible, to name them after a true subspecies.
The Persian leopard, now almost extinct, once had a wide ranging territory from Arabia to Pakistan.
