"I love to paint animals and this lioness, photographed with her two sisters by two of my dearest friends while they were on an African safari, was a perfect subject. I painted the original in watercolor, on a white scratchboard instead of on paper. This surface allowed me to capture the fine detail of the fur. I enjoy working on scratchboard and you can see how I used the same surface for "Honey", with acrylic for "Off Duty" and "Wiley", and in black ink for "Sleeping Ginger".
P.S. My dear friends purchased this original almost before the paint had dried!"

* The "Giclée" print represents the newest technology in fine art limited editions. Judy has chosen the Giclée method because it captures the detail and infinite color nuances of the original painting better than all other reproduction methods. Although the cost per print is much higher than offset printed reproductions, Judy feels it is the best choice for making her work more widely available.

Each Giclée exhibits the look and feel of the original watercolor painting, printed on acid-free 100% cotton fiber. The Giclée longevity fine art ink is waterbased - like the original watercolor pigments Judy painted with. The process is a revolutionary marriage of fine art and state of the art. Like an original watercolor, a Gicleé should be matted and framed under glass and protected from damage of ultraviolet light rays.
