This is NOT a photo! This is a traditional painting, the reference picture for which can be found below. Please do not use my painting as a reference!

This painting is available on cards and prints here: [link]

Thank you ahead of time for any favorites and comments!

While I know that the lions by Mt. Kilimanjaro likely see snow from time to time, I imagine that it's quite the phenomenon for some others!

This was initially painted for an off-line wildlife illustration contest that I'll be entering, but it may also double as our Christmas card for this year. We'll have to see what other gifts my muse brings before December!

I owe many thanks to Nature'sView [link] who was kind enough to let me use their photo "Lion's Gaze" as a reference.
