Conservation and wildlife are his other great passions and it is his ability to capture the movement, attitude and spirit of the animals that has earned him his reputation.   Having spent much of his life as a conservationist and a professional game ranger, he has an intimate knowledge of his many subjects.   “I sculpt to honour the animal for what it is, not for what it was,” he says cryptically.   The lion population, he points out, has over the last 21 years dropped by over 41%.   “If this sculpture can act as a catalyst to develop awareness, it would be fantastic.”   Much goes into the creation of a piece like Dawn Patrol. The casting of it was facilitated by the Strand branch of Sculpture Casting Services, in the Western Cape, reportedly the largest, highly specialised fine art foundry in Africa.   But before it gets there, Little starts by crafting a small version, perfecting finer detail on pose and proportion.   This was dramatically scaled up to an intermediate 2.4m version. Then, with the aid of the foundry, an armature or frame is built. A team of people then work on it. Some 500kg of a wax-based clay is applied to slowly create the detail and character of the piece. A mould is then made from this. The sleeping Lion was made by Rinaldo Rinaldi.   The Crouching Lion was made by Francesco Benaglia, each weighing 3.5 tonnes each.   Sculptured Arts are the official sculpture supplier to Chatsworth House, England.
