Very nice work on the lion. Love the work in pastels. You can just feel the emotion in the lion. A soft yet powerful way to capture the essence and power in the animal. Good job. Jerry/!!!/

Comment from photobug
I am sure this looks much better in person up close. I love the eyes in this and the contented look as if I am full and happy. The fur strokes are great and the colors nice. The angle of the look is wonderful and I like this depiction of the King of the jungle. Nice job. 6 roars. LOL

Comment from Heartfelt Annie
Great job with this lion, Suzanne! The softness here really works. Makes me think of an early morning sunrise and he's just awoken and resting. The pic is a bit blurry but I can still see the careful attention to detail you took. Love the eyes and I just feel the green in them. Love the flow of his mane. Strong features for a strong animal. Great job and I enjoyed looking at your painting. Annie
