Lion Cub Oil

This lion cub is walking through the African grassland. Its eyes are alert, like any young animal trying to learn about the world. My brush strokes are very impressionistic, helping to make Its body is light and bouncy, ready to run, jump and play. Like all young animals, it has a bright, intelligent observance but also a soft, cuddly look.
I have given the impression of trees in the background to give the feeling of space, and a dryish grassland in the foreground.
I have painted the edges of the canvas so that it can be hung on the wall as it is, without framing if wished.
