This male lion is carefully painted on a 11x14 acid free primed flat canvas panel. I used the best quality Grumbacher oils to create him. This painting is extremely well detailed as I spent a lot of time perfecting his coat and mane to make him look real. It comes framed and would make a nice decorative item. The frame is gently used, has a couple of minor surface scratches, otherwise it perfectly displayable. The scratches do not effect the quality of the frame in any way. If you have any questions about this item, please feel free to email me at chinbunny1@wmconnect.com. Part of the proceeds of this auction will be donated to the Black pine animal rescue. A retirement center for retired circus performers, and rescued wild animals. See the link above included in the auction. The background on the picture seems to have picked up some of the flash from the camera. It is supposed to be a bit darker, without the flash spots. I will try to get a better picture of it uploaded to the auction within the next couple of days. This painting comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by me, Janelle Dixon. it will also come signed by me on the front and the back of it.
