I finally got round to doing a painting from the many photos we took at the zoo last week - I chose this one as we spent some time watching these two lions, nuzzling and licking each other - it was lovely to watch although it felt a little like we were imposing on a rather tender moment!! after not painting for a while this was a bit of a practice piece to get me back into the flow but Gary really likes it and I've had some lovely comments from facebook friends - even Jean Haines which is always a confidence boost !! Still not convinced myself whether I like the way I've painted it although I like the expressions I've captured - but then we are our own worst critics aren't we?

ReplyDeleteI just read on facebook you wasn't sure about sharing this painting. I'm so glad you did! It's magnificent! (thank you for your warm, welcoming message, by the way)
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased you have posted it, watching it come together when you painted it I knew it was going to be good, and it really takes me back to when we were stood watching them x
ReplyDeleteHello Sharon:) They are beautiful and in a way cute:) The eyes are amazing. I think you did a great job here!
