Tiger Island, Isle of Wight Zoo life painting of lion




Lioness, Nahla does not normally pose, she tends to wander off away from me, sitting in areas of her enclosure where I cannot get a good picture capture. On this day she endeavoured to approach me slowly along the fence.

It was a quiet afternoon and when Nahla has not seen many visitors she is more inquisitive.

I made a quick pencil sketch on A4 canvas card then went back to the studio and completed the painting whilst the image was still fresh in my mind.

Acrylic on canvas 10 x 14 inches
