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!!

  2. Liebe Silke,

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

  9. 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.

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