'Lionne lyonnaise à l'aise' by Margo Brault (Original Oil)

Oil on Canvas of CERCE.

"From minute 2:08 of  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHB-lHLL97I seeing Cerce so at ease, I had to capture her playfulness, all while remembering that this beauty is not to be taken lightly! So, I painted the sharpest light / dark contrasts around the funny hind paws, drawing the viewer’s initial attention back there. Then, after the viewer figures out the shapes and angles that comprise an upside-down lioness, they realize that she had been watching us all along".

Margo Brault, a wildlife artist based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is dedicated to supporting animal welfare and conservation through her art.  Originally from Alberta, Canada, Margo has exhibited widely, including at the Art League of Baton Rouge and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

She is generously donating three oil-on-canvas paintings to Born Free, inspired by moments captured in videos of lions Born Free has rescued. As a francophone, Margo enjoyed giving French titles to these paintings since the city from which these lions were rescued, Lyon, was too rich a pun to ignore. “Those videos were so full of wonderful dynamic images and great lighting (kudos to your videographer) I had a hard time deciding what to paint!” says Margo.

Margo’s work highlights her deep commitment to wildlife conservation and supporting vital causes. On her website, margobraultart.net, Margo features artwork of endangered animals which she paints from video clips of real-life rescue and conservation projects. Margo donates 20% of her website sales to the organizations behind each featured project.
