Illustration Friday - Cat

Illustration originally for an Article about Biting the Hand That Feeds You. I wanted to show a lion biting a the trainers hand without being violent and gruesome. The exaggerated perspective adds a comical feel. Original oil painting 20"x 20" then touch up slightly in Photoshop.
