The leopard is a piece completed in pencil by Diane Ewing of Colorado Springs. The cat on the front is a digital graphic. 10% of the profit will be donated to the National Wildlife Federation.<div><br></div><div> <div>As a native of Colorado, Diane was constantly surrounded by the beauty of the Centennial State. She began to attempt to capture this beauty through her artwork. Her goal was to capture the beauty in the most realistic way she could, whether it was animals, landscapes, or people. A self taught artist, she began to oil paint in 1972. Through the years, this is the medium in which she created some of her most exquisite works.. Many of these works were selected to exhibit at the Colorado Springs Art Guild's National Juried Show and the Colorado State Fair, winning many awards. Many of these works now grace numerous private collections. During this time, she also developed her skills with other mediums such as colored pencil, pencil, acrylic, and watercolors. Over the last few years of her art career, she focused primarily on watercolors. Her greatest joy became painting these watercolors, and giving them to friends and family. A percentage of the gross profit from any piece the Lazy Cat Art Studio sells will be donated to charity. Diane passed away on September 27, 2016. She is loved and missed by all her friends and family.<br> </div> </div>
