Lion cub on mum's tum

Oh what a sweetie…magnificent work Tom;)

Beautiful work – and cute too! :o)

How many hours did it take you to make this fur look so fluffy? I want to stroke the little fellow :)

Knowing how difficult and time-taking it is to paint fur I greatly admire your skill Tom, you’ve done to perfection.

Thanks friends – Dave you are quite right – hours and hours. I was into photo realism at the time as this was quite popular in Johannesburg. I still tend to get lost in the detail – even with my Sci Fi paintings. Thanks Brian and right back at ya :)

Oh this is just fantastic!! Very very nice!! Love it!

Amazing! Wow! Please add this one to the Endangered Species group, too. In fact I issue an open invitation—please add any of your animal artwork featuring an endangered or threatened species to this group. :) Every week I do features and I like to feature both photography and traditional art. We have very little traditional art in this group, though, and I would love to see your amazing paintings added to it!

Wow your work is amazing, this piece is so well done, Wow…your wife is a lucky lady to have this, glad to have found you and your work on bubble. cheers

Your welcome and me too, full time work has taken me away from my art, yet seeing your work is making my hands twitch, best thing I have a free weekend….look out, may have to dust of the pastels and paints….turn the phone off and get back into it…cheers
