Mum's 100th Birthday Card (1 April 2026)

Mum celebrated her 100th birthday on 1 April 2026.  Here are the paintings I did to make up her birthday card.

Lion

Departing our safari accommodation deep in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania (2018) early in the morning our driver came across a family of lions - two females and 4 cubs by the side of the road - stopping to watch the happy family this large male appeared as if from nowhere .. his expression awesome - in the true sense of the word ....
