A lion built out of confident shape and a single warm light.
Twenty centimetres square, painted with the kind of confident shape you can
only commit to once. The lion is reduced almost to a sigil — a contour, a
mane lit from one side, eyes pulled out of the dark with two small,
deliberate strokes. The palette stays disciplined: warm browns, cream, a
single charcoal accent. It’s the smallest piece on the shop that still
behaves like a centrepiece — perfect above a desk or in a child’s room
where a quiet bit of bravery is welcome.
