Usually, when I’m painting these constellations I have to use A LOT of imagination to see how they were able to see their likenesses and name them what they did. But with Leo, I thought ‘ha, I can totally see the back leg of the lion and it’s proud mane covered head.
.
When I showed it to my mom, she said ‘the triangle bit looks like a mouse head and that thing you think is its mane looks like a tail to me.’
.
And she IS a Leo, so I guess it’s true – a cat will always see it’s next meal. Raaawr 🦁
.
Happy Leo season everyone!
