+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"As I painted my homage to this amazing story, I could not help but be moved by the intricate
interplay between all of the magnificent creatures under Simba’s domain. I imagined a lush,
colorful, and bountiful African plain rightfully reestablished to its splendor after Simba
vanquished Scar and his comedic, yet treacherous, hyenas each now forlorn in their punishment. The
multitudes of animals have been summoned to pay tribute to Simba’s new baby and their future regent
as they wait under a spectacular sky illuminated in great anticipation. The world is as it should
be…in harmony and perfectly balanced. Simba’s heir is exalted by Rafiki and proudly symbolizes what
awaits when destiny is embraced, challenges faced, and one summons the courage to stand in the
spotlight of providence. I trust that this image will both remind you of this fantastic story and
its amazing characters and, most importantly, move you to face the future irrespective of history’s
impasses knowing that the watchful and approving eye of the King is content as you embrace your
place in the circle of life."
