Protected ~ Finished painting

After a few changes, this painting is now finished. It's interesting how when I sit for a while with a painting that's almost finished, suddenly I see what else needs to happen.
It was the same with this one. And now it feels done! And I couldn't be more pleased!!
Protected
Acrylic painting on plaster of paris
12 x 24 inch canvas
I'm linking this to the wonderful folks over at Paint Party Friday! Make sure to visit to see some amazing art!!

Happy Friday to you all!!

    Liebe Silke,

    das wird bei dir immer feiner.
    Es fällt mir auf, obwohl ich nicht sehr viel
    Verständnis für Kunst habe.

    Sonnige Grüße
    Elisabeth

    I love the way the girl is "protecting" herself by wrapping her arms around and crossing over. The sort of "X" also represents to me the idea of STOP killing the big cats.

    I love the texture of the plaster of paris as a substrate!

    Beautiful work. It is such a good feeling isn't it. Able to find the way forward and the story, and then knowing it is finished. :)

    Great expressions on them both, she looks calm and determined, and the cat looks fierce and ready to pounce.
