The moon is calling and they must go...
 
I wanted this jaguar to look magical and poignant as they gaze at the moon. This illustration makes me think of nature and the jungle, and how we're all connected - one thing that's constant in life is we all see the same stars and the same moon!
 
The inspiration was probably a story I heard in India - about a leopard, who locals saw sitting on a rock, on the waters edge of a little island one day. He was starring out to sea, watching the sunset. When I heard it, it made wonder what he was thinking.
 
I painted this cat in watercolour and inks. Although the original has now sold, this piece has proven one of my most popular prints, buy a print of this magical Jaguar here.
