Lion King
Acrylic on canvas board. Larger view recommended.
Another work in the series I am producing with photographer Mr Tony Ryan.
I feel that the slightly vulnerable posture and gaze of the figure (who happens to be Tony himself) and the power and strength of the lion shows the vulnerability in all of us and yet the image is meant to inspire us all to rise above and to become one with the power and strength that the lion reminds us of.



Lion King belongs to the following groups:
1 on 1: The Fine Art of Portraiture , Back In Black ( sorry~NO PHOTOGRAPHY), Illawarra , Impressionist Art, Men Appreciation (Men = 18 years + ) and Vibrant and Vivid Color Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints
