I recently completed this lioness. It was a fairly pivotal piece as it was different from anything I had painted to date. I hadn't attempted to capture an animal on canvas before, scared of my subject not having life. The title has two meanings: 1) the subject most certainly has the target "in focus" and 2) it was painted at a time in my life where I felt things were coming into focus for me personally.
WOW Nikki.. this picture is soooo amazing. You are truly a talented person with all that you do. I am so impressed with your artistic abilities. We miss you guys. Give Morgan a big kiss for us. Love Viv and the gang.
