A black panther walking towards you, head low, painted in indigo, slate and black with the muscles of the shoulders in a paler wash and the paws dissolving into drips. The eyes are yellow and the whiskers are fine white lines. Blue splatter around it. It is a portrait format and one of the few nearly monochrome prints in the shop; the spotted panther is the coloured version.
Why it is a limited edition
Each print is made in an edition of 150, and I sign and number every copy in pencil under the image. The edition is small so that every copy can be made properly: the file is scanned from the painting itself, printed on museum-quality cotton paper with archival pigment inks, compared with the original in daylight and corrected until the colours match, and only then signed. When the last copy is sold, the edition closes for good.
Paper, inks and sizes
- Archival pigment inks on acid-free, museum-quality watercolor paper, so the texture of the original is kept
- Framed canvas options in a black wooden frame, ready to hang
- 15 sizes, from 8 x 10 in (20 x 26 cm) to 40 x 55 in (100 x 140 cm)
- Small sizes ship flat in rigid cardboard, large sizes rolled in a hard tube, worldwide with tracking
The frame is not included unless the option says Framed Canvas. Not sure which size fits your wall? Write to me with the width of the furniture under it and I will suggest one. Reproduction rights remain with the artist.

I’ve been searching all my life for the perfect panther image that matches my spirit animal in my dreams. It’s like it’s stepping out of my dreams! I’ve spent $350 having it matted and framed. It will be passed down to my grandchildren. Thank you!
