LION

Oh he's gorgeous!! Really want to stroke him well done lou!!!!

Lou, you're too close ... now back away ... Very slowly.... Great lion - you have the texture of the fur, and the intensity of the gaze.

Thank you both so much.

Wow Lou....what a beast!!! Beautifully done.

Thank you so much Fiona.

Well Lou - your inspiration has produced a stunner. I love the feel of his eyes (which are beautifully rendered) where I can sense a lot of thinking going on. Brilliant. Thank you .

What a pussy cat, he looks so soft and friendly. Gorgeous eyes, colours in his fur exceptional.

Thank you so much

This is gorgeous, Lou! The eyes are really beautifully rendered, and I think your close up portrait is brilliant. As Robert says, you are way too close! It really has an impact!

beautiful - love the composition and the texture of his fur

Thank you so much again.

I love his eyes. Great piece.

Wonderful lion with a 'well fluffy' coat. Intense but kind look in the eye which is interesting. Also close up views of faces always have so much impact and drawns the attention right into the painting. So a success all round I would say.

Thanks again.

Very intense, love the fur both the colour and texture, thank you also for you positive comments on my brotherly love drawing.

Great lion. Jx

Thank you ever so much for your comments on my seagulls; much appreciated. I don't know how I've missed your gallery because like me you are mostly into pet portraits but boy oh boy this one beats them all. What a stunner. Superb fur and that gaze is dangerous.
