Description Winter is gone and creativity is resurfacing from its long dark sleep! I don't know exactly what I was thinking when I started this but just let my hand do the work and see where it took me. This is the final product! I will likely color this one with colors to match with Lion in Red.

I do have a few folks to thank for cheering me up last few days and reinspiring me. So here goes! Trish as always your kind words and friendship means the world to me and keeps me going always. James you have kept what little sanity I have left intact. Hillary aka Hibbary, our conversation was probably what sparked my inspiration, you are an amazing artist, don't let morons get you down! Vern, well Vern ya always manage to make me crack up laughing..what would the world be without coffee?! A lonely dreary place.

Anyway I am done rambling...for now.

Awsome! It looks so... natural, for something so odd. You're art is amazing first of all, breath taking really, but besides that, it's a cool idea. Red will look cool - like a bird of paradise or somethign Very cool.
