Two Lions

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?

  3. I 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
