There are some lovely lions in the statues and fountains in the Botanic Gardens. I could easily spend a day looking for them and drawing them. Each one has a very different face and expression. I am sure that the more that I go back and look at them and draw them, I will get more familiar with what a lion looks like !

We always thought we had just three sets of lions in the Gardens but were forgetting about the gargoyle ones on the Levy Fountain, and perhaps in other places too. Will have to correct the Sculpture Trail booklet before it goes to press.
