About the Item

Panther in the Grass is by artist Jeff Slemons .There is the use of the palette knife which builds up a texture of the oil paints used in this landscape/animal painting. Wild cats that have a dark (melanistic) color are often referred to as “panthers” or “black panthers,” including big and small wild cats such as jaguars, leopards and jaguarundi. The word “melanin” means black or dark. Melanin is a type of pigment (coloring). If you look closely at a melanistic cat’s skin, you will see the markings typically associated with that species. Large black (melanistic) wild cats in captivity are usually leopards or jaguars. A litter can include both melanistic and non-melanistic cats. Because most melanistic wild cats were found in jungles with less light than other types of environments, it was believed that the melanism (dark coloring) was an inherited trait or condition that aided the cat’s survival – an evolutionary process of natural selection. New research suggests that melanism might be a helpful immune system mutation. Jeff Slemons says :I’ve been an illustrator for about 25 years. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I’ve worked pretty hard to be able to do something with absolutely no job security. It’s a roller coaster ride all the way and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. From fine art inspired by long-ago greats, to cartoons and hysterical illustrations of the modern day – I do it all! At some point I think I’ve done all I can and it’s time to call it done. In the back of my mind I made a mental note to do a bigger version at some point. On a bigger format perhaps things can be communicated more clearly. Should that happen look for a full report here. Until next time.
