Current Work in Progress! (Patreon)

I'm picking up this project from the past! Today I'm revisiting a colored pencil drawing (idea for a painting) that I did back in 2019 and turning it into a watercolor!

This is inspired by the softness of a moth paired with the fierceness of a female lion: the face of the lion merges with the moth, the lion's eyes overlapping with the eye designs on the moth wings. 

It's incredible to return to something from so long ago, rediscover things within it anew, and merge myself now with myself then, just as I am merging these two very different animal energies.

I actually first had the idea of the butterfly/moth wing eyes merging with the eyes of big cats back when I was young (I think 9?) and have a small series going on and off for a few years of these images. I just sold my first watercolor last week, so it has definitely inspired me to keep making them!

I hope you enjoy.
