Drawing is the foundation of art, and today the basic studio practices of the artist, such as developing sketches, provide a true glimpse into the artist’s innermost thoughts and ambitions. A study sketch, especially of an elusive subject such as the snow leopard, can be one of the most diffi cult to execute as each line must represent both light and shadow. In regards to this ambiguous animal, John Banovich has said, “I never feel I know an animal until I study its native habitat, and with the snow leopard, that meant traversing the rug- ged Karakorum Mountains of northern Pakistan, one place where it still survives. Found in about a dozen different countries, the snow leopard might be the least studied rare cat on earth because of its elusive nature and the extreme elevation it occupies.” Donated by: John Banovich Live Auction Item #9 Five Day, Four Night Elk, Mule Deer, and Bear Hunt for One in the Colorado Rockies Hunt in the Colorado Rockies with your personal guide, Dan Harrison, in one of the pre- mier big game hunting areas in the nation.
