This is brilliant, Satu! I love how you distilled the shape but maintained the wonderful majestic bearing of the lion. The mane is just superb. Fabulous work!

I can hear the lion king! Powerful

His Majesty well depicted, Satu. The red add power.

It's a "G" for Goodie!

Super Satu, the pallette generates the heat of where were these majestic creatures come from....love it!

You've given him a regal look whilst blending him into the aggressive red. Very cleverly done.

Thank you ever so much Seok, Gudrun, Cesare, Ivan, Fiona and Andre for your lovely comments.

Very Striking Satu.

This is wonderful Satu, I echo all the previous comments.

Thank you very much John and Val for your kind comments.

I never usually like lion portraits Satu but I love this one which tells you how good it is! The colours are perfect, so dramatic :)

Thank you Louise. Had you asked me two weeks ago if I would like to paint a lion I would have said no but when I really had to do it last week, I decided to do it my way and finally enjoyed the challenge.

Stunning work Satu.
