Lion Love
Here is an ink drawing that I have just completed. The reference is from Sam Mowska's photos from whilst he was in Africa. The reference was used with permission.
Hi Kay This is a great drawing. When you enlarge it, you can see the pen strokes you used to achieve this result. Wow! Thanks for your comments on my painting. I sort of answered your questions on my blog but thought I would elaborate a bit. I think the reason I am so driven to paint is because I spent so many years not being able to paint how I wanted and now that I have my own studio space, I can be more organized and get pictures started ahead of time so that they are ready. Also, I want to keep learning. I set a goal for myself a while back to learn how to paint in a certain style, and I think I will forget what I learned if I don't keep at it. (Plus, I am not working full time...big advantage)Sometimes I don't know why I feel so "driven", its almost like I feel there won't be enough time to reach my goals. We artists are so weird, aren't we!

Hi Catherine, it is always great to hear from you. Your work is amazing and it is great to hear how driven you are. Kay
This is lovely Kay - I am always drawn to pen and ink drawings. This has some very subtle shading which takes a good eye to accomplish.
Thanks Holly, good to hear from you.
