Her Majesty Ed. 1 of 1

The gazing eyes of a lioness, innocent, pure, yet powerful. What is this magnificent creature pondering? She looks deep into her surroundings and is ever present as her cubs play nearby.
The glistening evening sky and her mesmerizing eyes reflect back at the viewer through the alluring scratched copper material, creating life, drama and a sense of changing movement as one views this artwork from different parts of the room.
The mood and time of day change in this scene as the colour's and reflections can intensify or subdue depending upon the light and angle, there's a level of intensity as light beams through the beautifully layered color's that allow the copper to be itself and shine through.
the artwork is an expression of a love for beautiful color and its ability to shift with the changing of light throughout the day and the true appreciation of purity within nature and all living things.
