Pink Chee___tahs

Pink Chee_tahs by Sanjna Nair Easily tamed, throughout human history cheetahs were trained for hunting expeditions by peoples as diverse as the ancient Sumerians, the Egyptian pharaohs and, as late as the 10th century, by the Duke of Normandy who was known as William the Conqueror. Cheetah is the world's fastest land animal and Africa's most endangered big cat. Uniquely adapted for speed, the cheetah is capable of reaching speeds greater than 110 kilometers per hour in just over three seconds. At top speed, their stride is seven meters long. I decided to give a twist to my cheetahs. They are PINK, and they totally stand out in the wild. This painting is done mainly with Acrylic Paints and Black Ink. The wild is created in an abstract adaptation of a thick forest where these Cheetahs are resting in all the Glory. One of them is ready for a scuba dive by the lake, another one on the tree is fast asleep taking in her beauty sleep and the third one is keeping an eye open for her next prey. These are the 21st century Cheetahs who go all out and live their life as they wish to, not bothered about the society or what anyone would think.
