Being from Africa, I was fortunate to see a lot of wildlife on my trips to the bush. Being a Leo, my favourite sighting was obviously lions (or 'Tau' as they're named in the native African language of Zulu). Strong and graceful, female lionesses in particular are fierce predators. Even when relaxing, their muscular form exudes a sense of formidable energy, giving the sense that they are ready to spring into action at a moment's notice. I've tried to capture this essence using bold, angled brushstrokes and strongly contrasted shading.Try it!
