Let me tell you a bit about Brotherly love
One evening on the Masai Mara, we watched the Marsh pride of lions playing in the evening sun. The Marsh pride usually hang out on the main reserve, near Governors Camp. However, they have started moving territory onto a neighbouring part of the north Conservancy where we were. The lionesses were readying themselves to move on; possibly to hunt. The two lead males of Half tail and Logol were hiding in the grass. Meanwhile, the cubs played in the evening sunshine. This particular cub had outgrown his brothers and sisters, and wanted to play with this adolescent male who would prefer to lie on the grass lazing in the shade. He kept bouncing around him wanting to play. In the end, he clambered on top of his big brother, and snuggled in to his emerging mane. I watch them from our Jeep they were so close and their playtime and behaviour seems so normal and natural to watch. I sketched them frantically in my sketchbook knowing I would want to capture them on canvas when I returned home.
"Brotherly love" is a truly unique piece and will make you smile every time you look at them.
