Lion (20×26 pastel on paper)

Joel Kirk is an English artist who paints very realistic wildlife portraits. Equally comforatable working with pastels or oil, he captures every detail of the animal’s face. At times, using a very unique composition, he will give the viewer an extreme close up of the subject. The effect can be quite dramatic, as seen here. As with most of our artists, we continue to see new work on a regular basis, so let us know if you want to see more.
