I would like you to meet Thelma. This painting is one of a pair of two lionesses. I always name my animal paintings, and when I completed this pair, I struggled with what to call them. I wanted to name them after two strong women. The first idea that popped into my head was Thelma and Louise. I was unsure about this choice, and I shared this idea on my Facebook page. I was surprised by how polarizing it was. People seemed to love it or hate it. I finally decided to trust my instincts and kept the names "Thelma" and "Louise."
Of the two women, Thelma was the more innocent of the two and far too trusting. In the story, her struggles are evident. The tangled brush in the foreground represented those struggles to me. And she has a very innocent, trusting look on her face. So, I chose to name this lioness "Thelma."
