Lion at Tsavo by Robert Bateman

Lion at Tsavo by African wildlife artist Robert Bateman available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

  

This mature lion is not on the prowl... He is taking a stroll after his hot, daylong siesta. The river provides not only a place to drink, but the possibliity of something interesting to observe and maybe even some easy prey. "I liked the positive and negative shapes of the rocks and water and reflections. African rivers are subject to sudden floods. Ancient rocks are sculptured by the river. In the mud deposits are the textures of the hoof prints of the grassland game." - Robert Bateman.
