This lion cub oil painting is one I've had finished, but I haven't gotten around to posting it on the blog. But then I saw the 3 Muses Nature's Creatures Challenge posted and thought it would be perfect for that.
Oil painting is quite a lengthy process, which involves building up the paint in several layers. And it dries very slowly, so it's not something that can be rushed. It's a very soothing process for me, when I'm painting. Very few things make me feel as peaceful as painting does, and that is a treasure to me...especially since I don't get to do it as often as I'd like. This lion cub is one of my husband's favorite pieces.
