DeleteLovely! (So you suggest the lion is a dream? It may well be.)
ReplyDeleteLions are symbolic of strength in a dream, so perhaps she is dreaming of strength and a lion manifests in her dreams. Something to ponder.
DeleteHow beautiful - I love it! Jae
ReplyDeleteThank you Jae
DeleteSimple and effective!
ReplyDeleteTitle of painting should be The Sleeping Gypsy About to be Eaten by Lion though.
ha - I don't really feel she will be eaten by the lion but, who knows?
DeleteBeautiful, True.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry

ReplyDeletePerhaps, dreaming of an easier journey. She is tired
DeleteUntamed spirits speak to me. Love this!
