\"Cheetah
Cheetah by Will Bushell on Society 6<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The thing about most fine art is that for some reason, artists only show the latest work.\u00a0 It’s as though artwork is like food and “goes off” ,has a “sell by date” or “best before date”.\u00a0 Often when artists have a show in a gallery, only the latest work is shown and if it doesn’t sell, it goes back to the studio to lean against a wall.\u00a0 The beauty of going online with work is that suddenly you look at all your work with fresh eyes.\u00a0 And, hey, it didn’t “go off”, it’s still good and should be out there to be enjoyed by more than one person.\u00a0 So what I’m leading up to is that this particular drawing in ink of a cheetah, is from an old sketchbook of Will’s, from way back in 1966!\u00a0 And I love it!\u00a0 And I like that it’s out there to be enjoyed as a print, or even a tote bag!\u00a0 And why not?\u00a0 You can find more on our shop on Society 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
