My ADD has kicked in....again. Oh well, why fight it. I have learned that keeping several paintings (up to 5 at a time!) keeps me interested, and in a weird way, focused.
I love to paint, and find that working on multiple paintings actually helps me work through the blocks that come with figuring out a painting. Anyway, this one was started and has progressed pretty well. There are several things that bothered me about this, as I am a real detail nut. The ears are slightly off on the mother, and the rest is just too unfinished to make any judgements yet.
I love wildlife, especially African species. They are so wonderfully exotic in their beauty. This is just another in my series of "A Mothers Love". I have multiple photos for sale, but this is the first painting. It touches my heart when I see wild animals display moments of affection with their young. I really live for those wildlife shots. Mothers by nature, and as our gift from God, are nurturing. This mother was nuzzling her baby, and had taken a brief moment to rest her head against the baby's neck and close her eyes. It was so sweet to see. Follow my progress as I continue to attempt to capture the sweet, soft moment in a baby's life.
This is a close-up view of the upper area of the mother. It is pretty close to finished, but I need to progress the baby's face, before I add much more to the mother. I love the blues and purples mixed into the white areas that enhance the orange-reds of the spots, and the black hairs.
