The Saddest Cheetah in the World




Darby is a published artist! Her lovely picture of a cheetah was selected by Zoobooks to appear on their website as part of the recent Endangered Animals issue.

The instructions for viewing Darby's drawing on the Zoobooks site are way too complicated, so just turn your gaze slightly to the right to experience what I like to call The Saddest Cheetah in the World.

The expression on that cheetah's face breaks my heart. And all good art provokes the emotions. Darby, you did a very good job.

I am crying monkey tears after viewing Darby's Saddest Cheetah.What can i say? It moves me.
Darby, I urge you to take a year off and follow your muse wherever it may take you. I'm thinking Paris. It's lovely in the fall. And from there it's a world of oysters.

The cheetah is a beautiful animal, and I think you have fully captured its angst and heatbreak due to the decimation of its natural habitat. I think we all tend to look away when we see such anguish, but you have riveted me! Thank you for making me feel again.
