The Lion Sleeps Tonight by Nicola Nicholas

Utterly gorgeous, and so beautifully done; The darker background sets it off perfectly.

I really like this a lot and it's very well done but, dare I say it, it also looks like a decapitated head, really would suggest you add some body to it. Just saying, hope you don't mind.

The dark blue really sets off the colours in the lion. Lovely pastel painting.

I love your comments , thank you! ....and...oops, yes! he does need a body now that you mention it!!!

To be honest the decapitated head thing never occurred to me, as paintings often focus on a key detail and fade out or omit the rest. You could add just the slightest hint of colour though to suggest that the body is faded out rather than missing. Also I forgot to say: great title!

A splendid drawing (painting? Never what to call these.) But it's really well done.

I love this, you have done a lovely job.

It’s terrific.

Body or not, great face !!
