When I was a young child in the 60's, my baby brother had an imaginary friend named Pet Lion. I use to watch him (and his teddy) talking, laughing,and running around playing with something I couldn’t see.
I thought he was a little weird…then when I got older, I wished I had had a Pet Lion. A couple years ago I asked him if he remembered what he looked like, he thought about it and said, "Imagine if Vincent Van Gogh had a lion”. Thus this mat came about.
