The Beautiful Shikira in Pencil and a Happy 2010!

Happy 2010 to all my wonderful friends across the world. I thought I'd share with you this drawing I've just finished of a beautiful Barbary Lioness I met in July at Zion Wildlife Gardens. The photo doesn't do the drawing justice. Shikira lives with her partner Gandor a white lion. Both arrived from South Africa some years back at the park. They're just gorgeous.

HAPPY 2010!!!
