GRANT HACKING Scouting the Territory | Oil on Linen - 30”W x 40”H (unframed) The original painting from which the 2015 SEWE poster was created. When asked about his inspiration for the piece, Hacking says he was “struck by the intensity and grounded strength of such a small cat. Despite his size, I got that same feeling I get when watching a leopard or lion. I composed the painting with a mass of solid rock to reflect the strength of the cat as he confidently scouts his territory for signs of intruders. There is no doubt that this elusive and majestic creature is deserving of being showcased.”
