Way out of my comfort zone but I wanted to try this for a while.

Come out of your comfort zone more often Ern. Love the paintings. Xxx❤️

[Ern007 in reply to sassy59]

Thank you Carole. xxx

[HelNel7]

I agree with sassy59, these are very striking and lovely! May I ask what size canvas you use? I'm an artist myself and I always enjoy seeing your work

[Ern007 in reply to HelNel7]

Thank you helNel7 . Normally I use A4 or A3 - For this I used two Eight inch square canvases.

[HelNel7 in reply to Ern007]

Thank you for letting me know I'm very fond of the square format myself, I think I like the symmetry! - Helen

[Ern007 in reply to HelNel7]

No problem.I like square when possible Helen , I also with square like taping the 4 sides with some paintings, to get a nice white border,

[HelNel7 in reply to Ern007]

Interesting! I've been looking through your posts, there is so much joy in your paintings, I think that's what strikes me the most. Thank you for sharing your work x

[Ern007 in reply to HelNel7]

Very Welcome x

[Dottie11]

I was thinking Aslan when I saw the Lion. Narnia. Then my mind wandered to Roadrunner. Really showing my age. Thank you. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

Thank you Dottie11 - I remember "Road Runner" - loved it.xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

Beep Beep. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

Lol - That's the one, poor thing he never won xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

Wish I could still run like that. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

I never could, he was greased lightning xx

[Threecats in reply to Dottie11]

I used to love Roadrunner, too! It wasn’t that long ago, was it…… oh hang on, maybe it was!😀

[Dottie11 in reply to Threecats]

[Issy22]

Reminds me of the theatre production of the Lion King.🦁 Love your paintings Ern. A very talented man you are.

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

Thank you issy22..

[HungryHufflepuff]

I like these paintings, they could almost be billboard posters for a theatrical production. But right now what I love is they make me feel warm! It is so cold but somehow just looking at these i feel like I’m out in the sunshine. Thank you 😊

[Ern007 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Thank you HungryHufflepuff - It has been a long cold winter HH - I could do a week on the Savana.

[Handel]

So much feeling in the paintings Ern. I think HungryHufflepuff took the words right out of my mouth - the yellows and oranges spread warmth. Lots of love and virtual hugs. Jan (in a very soggy and cold Birmingham) xxxx

[Ern007 in reply to Handel]

Thank you Jan - it's not raining in Lancashire but it sure is cold. Sending Virtual Hugs. xxx

[Patk1]

Love them both Ern.can feel the warmth .I've like Yr silhouettes previously too xx

[Ern007 in reply to Patk1]

Thank you Pat. I have not painted either before, but I wanted to give this a go. xx

[Patk1 in reply to Ern007]

I think u did an elephant silhouette cpl mths ago x

[Ern007 in reply to Patk1]

I meant not a lion or ostrich before Pat, xx

[SharonMcKnight]

I really, really like these! Maybe two bunnies looking up at the moon, or the sun, with their backs toward you?

[Ern007 in reply to SharonMcKnight]

I will try and think about that one Sharon and see if there is a way, The lion has half a profile.

[Threecats]

I love them both Ern! Your trip out of your comfort zone has really worked!

[Ern007 in reply to Threecats]

Thank you Threecats.
