King of the Jungle - right?  The Lion King!

Perhaps the top wild animal who has

symbolic meaning to

so many cultures.

Powerful, courageous, noble, supreme strength, leader,

fearless and brave - these all tell the story of LION.

I don't know if it's because I am really pushing hard to try solidify a few things
in what I am doing and the colors I am using or ??  But these
are getting more difficult.  When I think of the decisions that I make
when I do a painting right now- WOW!  By the end of it, my mind is whirling
and I really have to force myself to say, "That's enough."

A Work in Progress

Very first today, I want to thank those "followers" that have returned and been visiting this blog lately.  When someone stops blogging for awhile, you wonder what is going on??  Are they done?  Are they away for who knows how long?  Are they lazy?  or are they just so busy with other things right now.  Thanks for not giving up.  Life happens - we got busy, believe me I yearn to paint ALWAYS - but other things take over.  It seems to be seasonal for me this year.  I paint because I want to and can think of nothing else that is that satifying to my soul. 

Today on the easel...

Acrylic - not sure of a title yet...will have to see it a little more completed.  I am liking the purple over the red..
