'Deux Lions de Lyon' - Original Oil - by Margo Brault

Oil on canvas of HORACE and DADOU.

"Inspired by moment 3:10 on this Shamwari video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M5VNqTF6f4 A heavy head-bump and a floppy invitation to play: These two brothers now tumble in a sunny field, rather than suffer the cruel conditions from which they were rescued. I had to celebrate that lazy playfulness that comes with an easy life. I hope this loose painting captures the warmth, leisure and camaraderie, that can heal a heart. …even for us non-lions". 

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.
