"A Gentle Roar"

Studio Art Quilters Association (SAQA) is having their silent annual fund raiser.  I'm donating my "A Gentle Roar" from my Peaceable Kingdom series to SAQA's auction.  The inspiration for this series came to me my longtime admiration of Edward Hicks' painting "Peaceable Kingdom" painting where he portrays animals who are natural foes in harmony in a forest.  Reality would have the lamb easily being a quick appetizer preceding a bigger meal for the lion.  The word gentle in the title of the artwork stems from the lamb's sweet nature; and of course the word roar comes from the intimidating sound of the mighty lion.  He is the undisputed king of the jungle.
