When one of my bestest friends told me she was pregnant, I wanted to do something special for the baby. I decided I would do a painting or several paintings for the baby's room. At first I was thinking about painting three 8x10 paintings of baby animals with an African theme. I was researching how I could draw a lion when I stumbled across some Lion King pictures and I got the idea in my head to paint a bigger picture instead of three small ones. I decided to do three paintings to pull it all together. I think the big picture is done on an 11x14 canvas (not 100% sure) and the two small ones are 8x10.
These paintings were for fun and were only completed to be given away as a gift. I have found painting characters has been good practice at mixing colors doing some shading. I plan on painting a couple more characters for a couple special four year old little girls and then I will be venturing back into more scenic and original work.

| I printed the pictures out to match the size of the canvas. |

| I used a regular lamp to do my best to trace the image onto the canvas as I am not a very good drawer! lol |

All three pictures traced onto the canvas.
Now it is time to add color! |
And finally all finished!!
Here they are hanging on little Benjamin Luke's bedroom wall!
I hope he will treasure them forever!
