| FLOWERING LION. Original (SOLD). Prints available in my etsy shop. |
there's something about these flowering lions i've been painting. i think they represent a growth of courage. right now, i'm really focusing on creative projects and living life the way that works for me. which means living simply, adoring the little things, and really listening to my intuition.
looking back at last year and all i'd accomplished, i remember feeling like i had to do it all. as if there wasn't time for everything. i pushed myself so hard, that i forgot what really mattered to me. now i want to be sure that where i put my time and energy aligns with my bigger picture, which to me has to do with a simple lifestyle, but also lies in helping and inspiring others through my stories, writing and art.
so i hope this FLOWERING LION inspires you to look towards what is really calling you. here is how this painting evolved from start to finish...

i'd been playing with layers and color in mindy lacefield's wonderful paint your story e-course. so this painting started out looking much like mindy's paintings. and i wanted to start there, following what she'd been teaching so i could really learn and apply her techniques, but then i wanted to apply it all to my own characters.
i just love seeing all of the layers up close...

i tried adding the feathers to the top of the head, but when i didn't like that character, it seemed like the perfect transition into the mane of a lion. and so this painting became soft and simple, full of courage and growth from the heart. just as a FLOWERING LION.
