"Born of Shadows" - Watercolor Painting (20x20")

With piercing sapphire eyes and a protective stance, the mother panther shields her cub from the unknown. This evocative watercolor painting captures the essence of wild strength and tender guardianship — a rare balance of power and vulnerability rendered in flowing indigo and obsidian tones.

Every detail, from the cub’s wide gaze to the mother’s poised calm, invites the viewer into a world where instincts speak louder than words. Splashes of watercolor dance across the canvas like moonlight through trees, adding depth and mystique to their presence.
This piece celebrates the unspoken bond between parent and child — primal, eternal, and deeply moving.
