really intense!

Maureen Middleton
Artist Reply: Thankyou Leah - I appreciate the feedback and tried to make it quite ferocious as a lioness would be when, say, defending her cubs. So I succeeded with that - thanks so much.

Maureen, this is just bold and beautiful and the portrait work in your portfolio is wonderfu. Great work. Miguel

Maureen Middleton
Artist Reply: Miguel - I thankyou for looking at my artwork and I am very happy that you like my portraits as they are my favourite thing to do as it is such a challenge to get a good likeness. Wish I could have got a better image from my camera for the lioness but am thankful for the feedback Miguel

AWWW, FIERCE AND SUPERB ! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Maureen Middleton
Artist Reply: Thanks Emily - I think I could have got a clearer image of this lioness as it is a teensy-weensy bit blurred. Merry Christmas to you too.
