by Teresa Lynn Johnson

Subject: Wildlife
Medium: Oil Paint
Dimensions: 20x16
Created: 2026

Portrait of lion that I created from a reference taken at a wildlife rescue center. I had a special connection to this lion. I love capturing animal expressions especially the life and expression in their eyes.

The commission story

Study several photo references to determine the most expressive view, then create a sketch capturing the likeness on canvas, move to the under-painting to capture correct values and then taking time to complete details, sometimes I will choose my background first, other times I choose it along the way.

The outcome

This artwork was a success in capturing the strong expression in his eyes, conveying a since of pride and wisdom.
