These lions live in a sanctuary in the Western Cape called Drakenstein Lion Park.  Here they have found a home, rescued by Paul Hart from abusive circumstances such as hunting farms, circuses and some even have been found living in tall buildings on the 14th floor as pets.  I had a pleasure of spending a few hours with these animals a few days ago.  If you go to the link on my page called "lion art initiative" I detail how you can acquire an artwork, with a percentage to be donated towards Drakenstein and the care of these lions.  Please visit www.lionrescue.org.za for further information.

Inspiration - to be In-Spirit ...

"There is not something you're supposed to do. There's not something that you should do. There is only that which you are inspired to do. And how do you get inspired except by the contrast? It's the life experience that gives you the idea of the desire, and then as you focus upon the desire, the Energy flows"  Abraham

I have always wondered how much of life is destiny / fate and how much we create.  while I was painting at the library, I came across a book by one of my favorite authors - Paulo Coelho.  Below is a piece that jumped out at me, as this is exactly how I feel when I create.  
"the brush with which you are making these lines is just an instrument. It has no consciousness, it follows the desires of the person holding it. And in that it is very like what we call "life" Many people in this world are merely playing a role, unaware that there is an Invisible Hand guiding them. At this moment, in your hands, in the brush tracing each letter, lie all the intentions of your soul." Paulo Coelho
