Simon Combes Limited Edition Fine Art Giclée Canvas: "In His Prime"Item #: GW-253Title: In His Prime Edition: Limited Edition Canvas Giclee to 150 Image size: 25" x 30" About the Art: A young lion leads his family from a muted, shadowy landscape onto the sunny plain. As the lionesses catch up, he stands at attention and scans the horizon for signs of trouble. A dry, hot breeze ruffles his mane but still the young lion stands in the dry grass, unblinking, unmoved and utterly In His Prime. Artist Simon Combes spent the majority of his adult life painting wildlife in his homeland, Africa. His dynamic animal portraits and sweeping landscapes earned him honors from The Society of Animal Artists, the Pacific Rim Wildlife Art Show and the Florida Wildlife Expo. In the early 1990s, Combes set out to paint a series of the world's largest cats (his favorite subject) for The Greenwich Workshop, a project which eventually resulted in the trade book Great Cats: Stories and Art from a World Traveller and a collector's portfolio of limited edition prints. In the three decades since, he has achieved worldwide success, countless commissions and many prestigious awards—including the Society of Animal Artists’ Award of Excellence. He was chosen “Artist of the Year” for the 1994 Pacific Rim Wildlife Art Show. The success of his work has aided Combes as he seeks to raise awareness of wildlife conservation; he has made contributions and served on the councils of several conservation organizations. Combes is the author and artist of two critically-acclaimed books Great Cats and An African Experience. Simon now lives in Africa, where he continues to research the animals he portrays and the environment in which they live. Description: All Prints are sale priced everyday!
