Simba the Magnificent

"Simba the Magnificent - Sharpei"   pastel     16" x 20"

Simba means Lion in Swahili.  This Simba is a Longhaired Sharpei, and her mane makes her truly leonine and majestic, perhaps queenly is the word!  I did her portrait (below) in the summer of 2010, the above was a "getting-to-know-you" sketch.   I kept it, almost threw it away, fell in love with it, framed it and hung it...right where I could see it.  This past week I figured she had to go "home" plus I need more space on my walls.  So she's leaving soon, to join her real self. 

A lovely dog, gentle and sweet.  Very Aslan.

Enjoy!
