The Pride

“The Pride” is a vibrant and heartwarming giclée on canvas by Michael Summers that artfully captures the essence of family bonds and the shelter they provide. In this piece, the king of the jungle and his loving pride are reimagined in a moment of domestic bliss, unaffected by the colorful rain that cascades around them.

At the center, a powerful lion stands guard, his mane adorned with streaks of color that match the rainbow hues of the rain, symbolizing both his strength and his role as a protector. A lioness lies playfully on her back, engaging with a lion cub, which frolics under the shield of a whimsically painted umbrella. This small, shared umbrella is both a literal and figurative representation of the protection and unity within a family.

The background is a canvas of white, allowing the striking paint drips to draw the eye and adding a layer of depth and wonder to the scene. The drips are reminiscent of life’s challenges and the vibrancy of experiences that the family weathers together. Despite the rain of colors, the pride remains untouched, a metaphor for the sanctuary that family and loved ones provide in the face of life’s metaphorical storms.

“The Pride” tells a story that transcends the animal kingdom, speaking to the human condition and the value we place on our relationships. It’s a piece that celebrates the joy of familial love and the colorful moments that define our lives. Ideal for those who cherish the concept of family or for anyone who appreciates art that combines the majesty of wildlife with the universality of human emotion, “The Pride” is a beautiful reminder of the importance of togetherness and the strength found in unity.
