“This one’s called Kyla.”

She’s a burst of sunshine wrapped in fur—a little lion cub with eyes full of wonder and a spirit that radiates joy.

I painted Kyla to capture that special feeling that only spring can bring: new beginnings, playful energy, and the soft sweetness of things just starting to bloom. Her gaze is curious and bright, as if she knows the world is full of magic just waiting to be discovered.

A single flower blossoms beside her, echoing the theme of growth and delight. Yellow washes through the scene like sunlight—warm, optimistic, alive—while soft touches of pink add a whisper of love and renewal.

Kyla is the final piece in my Faces of Felidae: Spring Edition series—a tribute to the innocence and wild beauty of nature’s freshest season.

Let her bring a spark of cheer and the promise of new adventures into your home.
She’s not just a cub—she’s spring, captured in a glance.
