"Untitled"

well,I'm posting what would be my first painting of this 2013.
I've been away from my brushes for a while,it was about time to
go back and start drawing and or painting.
This is from a Photo I've got somewhere...it is an Egyptian sculpture.
I should do some research to find out about his name.
It has the body of a Lion or something like that,but the face is Human...
I did some cropping to finally get what I believe is the most interesting
part of the picture.
I've always  wanted to try to do some Texture,I did several washes and splattering
on the right side,but I wasn't really happy with it.
I was getting to the point where I didn't know what else to do...
I got to the conclusion of adding some Texture with Acrylics and that's what I did...
After a few  months of inactivity,I'm really happy with the way this painting turn out.
A new year,New hopes,dreams...
