Naja, an original lion portrait in bright oils

Naja, means strong in the African language. I think that is the perfect name for this strong big cat, and the bold colored oils that I used to create him with!

Naja is painted on an 8" x 10" stretched canvas. The sides are painted the background color, so he can be left unframed or easily added to your favorite frame.

I love lions and continue to be saddened that there are so few remaining in the wilds of Africa. All of the big cats are slowly being killed off, as well as many other species of wild animals all over the world. I hope to continue painting these beautiful creatures, and visit them in their natural habitat one of these days, soon, before they are all gone!

"Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours." 1 Chronicles 29:11

About Me

As a young child, I always had a deep desire to draw and paint. All throughout elementary and high school I excelled in all of my art classes. Prompted by my high school art teacher,I attended our local Fine Arts Academy, and later college with a focus in art and art history. I have been blessed to be able to travel,visiting many art museums,including DC,NYC, and Paris,France. My work has been purchased by collectors all across the USA, and I am super pleased when my buyers tell me my work always looks better in person!

Although I refer to myself mainly as a self taught artist; over the course of many years I have taken private lessons and workshops from several talented artists in LA, TX, and AL.

I have worked with charcoal, graphite and colored pencils, pen and ink, and pastels, although preferring portrait studies in oils and acrylics. Being part Native American Indian, my heart is set on painting and learning as much as I can about these interesting people,their rich culture,and custom of using vibrant colors. I enjoy painting with heavy impasto,creating abstracts,and collages, that seem to give my paint brushes the freedom to pull me toward each new creation. My work is probably the most relaxing part of my life, and I am so glad to be back doing what I love! I believe a painting is in everything around us. We just have to look for what is truly there!
