Dreaming of a featherbed - old Lioness

0.0 x 0.0

This incredible lady, whom I called Elsa II, I met whilst working in South Africa. She was adopted by the ranger - and her young life nearly came to a halt because of poachers and "white hunters" as they were referred to, all of her immediate family were murdered, and she managed to escape - although she was very badly injured. But her life did turn out pretty good, she was adopted by this ranger who loved to so much, she was like a huge domestic cat, as she could never return to the wild. Every morning I would sit with her and enjoy her company as well as my coffee. I so admire anyone who gives their life to saving animals, she was a delight and every time I visited over a number of years, she remembered me. I sketched her and took many photographs, in this scratch-board image, I tried to make out that she was free and resting in the wild, but she actually was lying on a rug - Scratch-board and watercolour on Ampersand Clayboard..
