Lion Gaze Birds I planted some zinnias in

I planted some zinnias in my patio pots and the butterflies regularly stopped by for a snack

On a recent trip to Cabo San Lucas our casita was surrounded by these very dramatic Bird of Paradise plants in various stages of bloom

Lion Gaze Birds I planted some zinnias inWatercolor on canvas, framed 14 x 10 The stare of a lion can evoke a variety of emotions. Fear, awe, love, respect all come to mind when facing this powerful gaze. Also, a sense of mystery. This beautiful animal has the capacity to deeply love its offspring while having the courage to stop at nothing to protect them from predators.
