We went to the National Zoo this morning and headed straight for the Big Cats area

I love painting these little 6x6 portraits
and they look great hanging in a small space
or in a grouping
on a wall.

Symbolizing freedom, courage
and a sense of the wild
There is not an animal alive that I wouldn't love to paint
but none so fantastic as the lion :)

The Lion in spirituality represents courage, power, dominion, triumph, and the strength of love!
I think the most wonderful part about painting any animal is painting the eyes.
The eyes capture the soul and spirit
Of course a wild wispy main is fun too!

A lot
of sad, and horrible things happened all around the world.
There was a horrible explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas. The
lives of 15 people were lost, and hundreds of others had their lives
changed forever by tragedy. Strange sink holes popping up across the country. There was a magnitude 6.6 earthquake which
killed 188 people in Yuxi, China. On April 15th, two homemade bombs
exploded within feet of the finish of the Boston Marathon killing 3
people and injuring almost 200 more.Sad events make it tough to see good that's out there, but we have to work extremely hard to remember that the reason life is so precious is because of all the good and beautiful things that we human beings are capable of.
It is out there and goodness always prevails. Even in any disaster or attack there are amazing heros that run into the bombing to help others any way they can and it's these acts of kindness that we remember.
These wonderful things were happening before and they continue to happen, and they will happen. Nothing, not disasters, not Nature, and not terrorism, can prevent us from always seeking to make the world a better and more beautiful place for themselves and for future generations.
For my part, I offer if nothing else, visions of joy, whimsy and beauty, in the hopes of uplifting spirits in some way or even just bring a smile when you glance at your computer screen.
Thanks for looking :)

Another new animal inspiration!
So grand this animal.....must be painted thick!
I've had inquiries lately about frames so here's few tidbits on the topic:
Go with your style: I love the French and rather shabby chic style, so I love a weathered gold frame, with or without art in it! This lion would be handsome in an elegant antique gold frame.
Like a great black dress, gold is truly
timeless !
Also always hang your art, framed or not, at eye level. People shouldn't have to crank their necks up to see it floating up near the ceiling. And by that I mean slightly taller than my eyes, so at about 5'10" or so.
