This is my donation to SAQA's annual online auction in 2021. Since 1911, the famous marble lions, dubbed Patience and Fortitude, have captured the imagination and affection of New Yorkers and visitors alike. They flank the main entrance to the downtown branch of the NYC library. Posing regally, they gaze down at the coming and going of the library patrons and visitors. It was a bright summer day when I visited the library, so my photos of the lions show dramatic sunshine and shadows. This is Patience (on the south side of the library entrance) basking in the summer sun against a backdrop of leafy green trees. Information about how I made this in my blog post: https://www.terryaskeartquilts.com/Studio/2021/05/23/nyc-library-lion-basking-in-the-summer-sun-2021-05-23/
