More work on the lioness

Almost there. Trying to maintain movement, not get too tight.

She'll be Coming around the Corner

This Painting is now officially complete.

Lioness, a new painting

Here's a painting I started the other day.

 Once again using reference from the vast amount of photographs I've taken at Lion Tigers and Bears.  This is Suri a female lioness that resides there.
Suri came to Lions Tigers and Bears along with her sister Jillian and brother Bakari at the age of 4 weeks.  Due to overcrowding in a big cat sanctuary in Louisiana LTB was contacted and asked to take the three cubs.  

Blocking in shapes and color moving more quickly creating movement and life.
This is a realatively small painting  18" x 24".  More work to do....

the Continuation of the Girraffe walk

Next stop. Here it is. More vibrant color and impasto application.
Still going.
