'I Want My Mommy'

"I Want My Mommy" is a traditional painting - my first one in over 12 years as I have been concentrating on digital work - it is a mixture of all sorts of mediums - watercolour pencils - acryllic paints - kitchen knife! - pencil!! In fact if it was within reach I used it!

I made it very difficult for myself as I was trying to do detailed work on textured watercolour paper! So it is a bit of a mixture!

Below are the links to the work in progress.

Lions are the most social and best studied of the large cats and mankind has regarded these great predators with awe for thousands of years.

However, despite their strength and today's conservation efforts, lions are in decline throughout their ranges, for they do not mix well with the many human activities which threaten their livelihood.

Humans are the main reason for lion decline, with large areas of the lions range appropriated for cultivation or for human habitation.

When that happens there is no place for lions or the wild prey on which they depend, and the species rapidly disappears.

Absolute numbers are unknown, but the world's lion population at the present time is estimated between 30,000 and 100,000 animals.

They are most widespread and abundant in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, central African Republic, Zaire, Zambia and Botswana.
