"FRASIER ('The Sensuous Lion') & COMPANY"
2022
Mixed Media (Ink, watercolor, tempera) on watercolor paper
18" x 24"

I named my cat for this lion, who was nearly 20 years old (75 in human years) in 1972.He was a retired circus (in Tijuana) lion, who spent the last year of his life @ Lion Country Safari, in Laguna Hills, California. The 6 lionesses there preferred him to the younger males. They'd help him walk, and pre-chewed his meat for him. That leonine Lothario (Time Magazine dubbed him a "Sex Simba"!) in a matter of months got it on with all those lionesses, and sired over thirty cubs!! No wonder his tongue was always hanging out!

2019
Mixed Media (Ink, watercolor, tempera) on watercolor paper
9" x 12" (with 6" diameter circular "cameo") (12" x 16" with matting & frame).

Displayed at 2022 Flushing Town Hall Member Exhibit "Welcome Back." The pandemic has had the incidental effect of reducing the impact of human activity on wildlife, which in turn has led to a partial rebound in populations, habitat, territory and behavior that is more natural to them, tying in with the exhibit's theme.

"Cleo", a mountain lion (Puma concolor) at the Queens Zoo (which I hope to return to visiting this summer) in Flushing Meadow Park. . Although I have portrayed ("purr"-trayed?) Cleo in repose, one can easily tell that she's ready for any action that comes to her attention!!
