Time Out, measuring 450mm x 425mm, and Tranquility, measuring 442mm x 378mm, are both Lithographic prints on Italian origin acid-free 350gsm paper, signed by the artist and limited editions of 295. David Dancey-Wood is one of the leading pencil artists in the United Kingdom, specialising mainly in wildlife subject matter. His interest in conservation has taken him to many parts of the world where not only has he been able to see first hand the plight of many endangered creatures, but he has also captured them on paper with his pencil studies. He has supported through his work several conservation projects and other charities, including the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Foundation. He also works closely with Alison Cronin of the internationally renowned Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre as their art consultant and artist in residence. Time Out Time Out is of a resting Bengal tiger. When I say Bengal I mean from India. Despite the fact that many zoo's advertise and exhibit their tigers as Bengal they are unfortunately all of hybrid origin. There is not a single pure blooded Bengal tiger outside of India making this tiger more endangered that many are led to believe.This picture was originally drawn for the David Shepherd Wildlife foundation bi annual charity auction at Christies in Kensington. This print is published under copyright by Hawksbill Fine Art with permission for distribution granted to Infinartum. Time Out, by David Dancey-Wood Tranquility The Jaguar is the last of the true big cats that I had left to draw,so I was determined to do a good job of it. They are also perhaps my favourite of the cats with their beautiful markings and the mysterious folklore that surrounds them in their native lands. I have travelled South and Central America on several occasions in search of jaguars but they are notoriously hard to see and often the only hope you have of even a glimpse is perhaps in passing by the roadside. Drawing this feline was also a challenge as I wanted to show the obvious anatomical difference between a Jaguar and a Leopard, the main difference being the stocky appearance and sheer size of the head.
