“Lion”

Powerful and majestic, the king of the beasts has no natural predators. But unthinkably, African lion numbers have plummeted by over 40% in the last three generations, due to loss of living space and conflict with people. Lions are not currently endangered in Africa. However, three-quarters of their populations are in decline. The main threats to African lions are human-wildlife conflict and natural prey decline, as well as habitat loss, climate change and wildlife trade. With around 23,000 African lions left in the wild, they’re now officially classified as ‘vulnerable’.

This oil painting on wood is my interpretation of the impact we are having on this potentially endangered species.  The gaps and drips in the image of the animals depict the fact that we are slowly eroding the environment and the wildlife within it. I hope that my wildlife collection will provide some conversation and publicity around endangered animals.

All my prints are giclée printed on canvas and mounted in a wooden frame and are ready to hang. All prints can be shipped worldwide. There’s also FREE SHIPPING in Ireland.

Giclée printing is a process for producing Fine Art prints from original artwork using highly specialised printers and ‘Epson Ultrachrome’ pigment inks on canvas. This ensures the prints are of archival quality and in addition to being permanent and non-fade, when displayed they are virtually indistinguishable from original paintings.
