Mountain Lion-Kojo | Paper

➔ Let this painting’s story – touch your own!

✍️ From My Personal Journal

 

There’s a moment in the wild when everything goes silent—not out of fear, but out of respect.

That’s what I felt when I painted him.

He isn’t charging. He isn’t roaring. He’s simply walking forward… seen. There’s no noise in his power. Only presence. A kind of steady, grounded knowing that doesn’t need to prove itself.

The name came later—Kojo—a word with roots in the Akan tradition, tied to peace and Monday-born stillness. That contrast struck me deeply: a lion named for calm. For nurture. For quiet.

And yet, the more I painted, the more it made sense.

Look at his posture. Centered. Balanced. Every step deliberate. He walks through water as though it’s an extension of himself—unbothered by the ripples, unaffected by what stirs around him. There’s grace in that. A kind of discipline only found in the wild—where survival demands presence over panic.

His eyes became the soul of the piece. Focused. Aware. Watching not just outward, but inward. That was the hardest part—getting that expression just right. One of protection, not threat. Of clarity, not control.

The background faded naturally into darkness. I didn’t want distractions. Just light falling where it mattered most—on his fur, the shimmer of the shallow water, the tension between motion and stillness.

He’s not hunting. He’s guarding.

A boundary. A memory. Maybe even you.

I painted him as a reminder that strength doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it walks in softly. Sometimes it shows up on a Monday, with no need to raise its voice—just a presence that says, “I’m here.”

That’s Kojo.

Maybe you’ve met him before—in yourself, or in someone who showed up just when you needed it. Calm in crisis. Steady in chaos.

Power… with peace at the center.
