wildlife painting of lion roaring big cats stone coaster

This lion image on these cool coasters has been produced from an original soft pastel painting of mine, he’s part of my wildlife collection of paintings. The title of the original painting is "I Am King!" because he’s such a wonderful example of a big cat, but I felt he was a sad creature too and yet still he reigns with poise and dignity. I tried to show the emotion in his soulful eyes, but it’s his amazing lions mane that I enjoyed painting more than anything else, well, actually, I loved painting every bit of this wonderful king of the jungle lion. This is a customisable coaster, you can personalise it with your own image and text. The original lion painting is worked in soft pastel, This image has been digitally enhanced to give it a sepia effect.
