Cheetah painting available to buy - Fleeting Glances

original watercolour painting by wildlife artist Jos Haigh, of two cheetahs staring back at you, elongated bodies painted in shades of orange and aquamarine.

  • That very private nature of the cheetah has inspired this particular piece, named Fleeting Glances. This artwork shows two cheetahs, looking back at you, seemingly bored but actually alert, hoping you’re not coming any closer. Perhaps they’re merely assessing you for lunch!

  • Despite being a gregarious animal herself (oh yes!), wildlife artist Jos Haigh values her solitude. Just being quiet by herself. To think about things. To dream about things. To recharge her batteries. Everyone needs to have some quiet space in their busy lives.

    So we all know that the cheetah is the fastest animal in the world. And what has wildlife artist Jos Haigh captured in this painting? Ha, yes!  It’s because of the absolute stillness of this animal. Have you ever noticed, on safari, that you often see lions and elephants walking on the rough roads in the national parks. But never a cheetah. Instead they will shy away, leap up into a tree, peep out from the dry savanna grass.  So much so, it’s difficult to spot them. (No pun intended.) They will not be tamed. They want to remain wild.

  • Have you ever been to Africa? Seen the red red soil of Kenya, the sudden brilliant orange sunsets, the turquoise swirls of the Indian Ocean? Have you been inspired by the sleek svelte cheetah? Then this painting is for you. Cherish the memory in your home. Make it part of your life. Make it an heirloom for your children.

  • This artwork should have pride of place on a tall wall. On a neutral wall it will shine. On a dark wall it will soar. Stunning!

  • This painting is startling in its dramatic use of colour and its sheer presence. Adults will be caught short mid-conversation. Children will be mesmerised by the eyes. Drops of turquoise and emerald suggest a playfulness that belies the serious gaze of these cheetahs. Strong hot rust and bright turquoise are used to depict the calm but underlying threat of these elegant cheetahs - seriously enlongated with Jos Haigh’s artistic licence. Of course you’ll love it!

  • Many art lovers have found Jos Haigh’s work from the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, for which she is a valued Partner Artist.  Her clients express much joy at seeing the artwork on their walls. They particularly love her flamboyant style which is characterised by instant recognition of the animal in vivid startling colours. People appreciate the high quality of the framing. Deep ivory mounts with hand painted edges, bespoke framing and the crystal clear non-reflective glass are the hallmarks of many of Jos’s framed pieces. Non-reflective glass though expensive, is worthwhile to ensure that her artworks maintain their vibrancy and do not fade with time.
