This fierce-looking lioness was one of several who appeared more fearsome than their male counterpart. The darkening skies in October signal the coming rain, and the lioness must find food for her young family. I believe this one was also pregnant. After spending almost an hour, we witnessed their quiet strength in the pack, more engaged in the family unit yet still determined to be powerful hunters.
For over 50 years, Leo has been interested in art as a way to express his passion for the beauty of nature around him. He comes from a family of creative people where art and music were encouraged as forms of self-expression. It is no wonder that several generations in the family are noted for their skills in drawing, painting, photography and music.
For his part, Leo has always explored various art forms and always maintained an open mind about learning new techniques and appreciating other artists' works. He has studied Classical Drawing at the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto, and has traveled extensively to study the drawings and oil paintings of the 15th - 20th century artists in European cities such as Venice, Florence, Rome, Vienna, Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt.
His works reflect both the styles of the impressionists and realist painters, yet with a unique interpretation of \the subjects through his own understanding of the beauty that surrounds nature in all forms.
Many of his works for the last 25
