18 x 24 oil on canvas board
Strength is often found in the eyes before it is seen in action. I painted this Florida panther with an intense, unyielding gaze to express courage, focus, and resilience. The vibrant colours move beyond realism, emphasizing emotion and energy rather than natural appearance.
As a Florida resident, I am inspired by the panther as both an endangered native species and a symbol of determination. Its fierce presence has become an emblem of pride for the Florida Panthers hockey team, making this painting a tribute to both the enduring spirit of the wild and the competitive fire it inspires.
