Work in Progress: Jangala

I've been working on a new pastel artwork the past couple of days called "Jangala". Jangala is a Sanskrit word meaning 'uncultivated land' and is the origins of the English word 'jungle'. So this piece features a leopard against a fantastical stylized jungle backdrop. I took a few photos as well as short youtube video of me working on it. I'll post the final piece to my blog when I finish it.

Enjoy....and click on any images to enlarge.
