Free Spirit

In the spirit of the motif and purely for fun!!

Two images combined, blended and given a soft watercolour wash.

Yes, my Leo friend, nothing like a free spirit, we can certainly identify with wildlife in more ways than one.

Your inner beauty show through that smile

I like how your image is more ethereal thatn the Lioness, so true :)

Yes, she is my strength - but I am diluted by human weaknesses

The 'ethereal' treatment also helps to hide the wrinkles (which I am assured are mostly laughter lines) :roll:

Love it Carol! I have gotten the idea that you really love being in Africa and this image conveys your thoughts. :)

Laughter lines in one so young ???

Your obvious love of Africa is well portrayed here.
