Lion of Judah

Description

This preliminary graphite sketch presents a lion’s face with expressive eyes, textured fur, and a focused gaze. Handwritten notes around the drawing explore themes of royalty, leadership, strength, pride, and social life, adding insight into the artist’s creative process. Its raw, thoughtful character would bring a distinctive touch to a studio, office, or personal collection.

Artist

My work is about family relationships and community, it celebrates our humanity through the use of color, expressive gestures of our human emotions. I work primarily in these three mediums acrylic, oil, and watercolor. I also like to experiment with mixed media in my paintings.
