Forrest Greenslade "Masai Mara Momma"

Masai Mara Momma
Forrest Greenslade
Watercolor & Colored Pencil, 28 ¾ x 24 5/8” framed
$800

This engaging piece was painted from a photograph that Forrest took on a camera safari when he was working in Kenya, Africa in the late 1980s.  Forrest said pregnant cheetahs can’t run as fast and often don’t make it through to bearing their young.  They usually only have 1-2 cubs.  This cheetah incredibly had 5 kits, all looking healthy!
