When Skittles Dreams

When Skittles Dreams (lion)
Skittles

Sometimes my cat, Skittles, dreams. I can tell, because his paws are moving in order as if he were running. All cats have some things in common. It seems, all cats, even lions, tigers panthers, and jaguars, will squeeze themselves into any cardboard box that they can find. I imagine that when Skittles is dreaming, he visualizes himself to be a huge lion hunting with his pride!

Lions used to be wide ranging and plentiful in Africa, Asia, and India. Now, they are endangered, with possibly only 400 left in “the wild”. August 10 is set aside as International Lion Day.

This painting was painted with acrylic on coarse canvas, hand-stretched on 30″ x 30″ bars. I primed it, then painted it bright yellow. The only obviously yellow on the painting is on the inscription and the edges, however tiny specks show through, due to the roughness of the canvas, giving it a “sub-conscious” brightness or happiness.
