Sea Lions

This is one of my favorite paintings, because it seems so simple and does not contain any decorative matter.

It was not easy for me to restrict myself to this simplicity and I had some prblems with the lions expressions.

I had to "doodle" with paint in their faces, trying this and that, for example, with mouth close to the nose or distant, long or short, lips bent or straight and similarly with the eyes and the shape of their heads.

This painting and many other prints and originals are available from the -
