Defying Odds
Digital
A textured digital painting shows a golden tall-grass savanna landscape with dark green vegetation and blue mountains dotting the skyline. The sun starts to set high above the mountains, giving way to a vivid purple and orange sky. In the lower half, a maned lion snarls while standing amongst tufts of yellowed grass. He swipes at an elephant in the lower right corner, who is backing away from the aggressive lion.
“Through a community outreach program, I depicted a submitted suggestion of an illustration that contained a lion facing off against an elephant. This piece is representative of the classic David and Goliath tale of defying the odds against you. Even though the lion is against a much mightier foe than himself, as long as he has courage in his heart, the lion can overcome anything for the sake of his kingdom.”
