Inside the Red Zone, 2005
oil on belgian linen
40 x 50 in
(101.6h x 127w cm)
SOLD

When a male lion explodes from the bush in a fiery rage straight at you, every cell in your body seems to shudder in fear. I witnessed this adrenaline rush in Botswana as a large male was not pleased with my interest in watching his courtship ritual. After five fierce charges with the beast halting just five feet from my vehicle door, I finally got the hint that if I continued to stay it would not turn out well.
