Perceptive Path - Portrait of a Tiger by Dominique Wilkins

A knockout painting , love every hair and blade of grass.

Stunning!

Stone me! As the late Mr Hancock was wont to say - absolutely fabulous painting, a world away from the clichéd approach to wildlife painting that sometimes lets it down. This isn't a smoothed out, patted down, posing tiger, but the real thing, fur matted and tangled - you really feel that you're within a matter of inches of him. One of the best wildlife paintings I've ever seen - and I enjoy paintings of wild animals and have seen probably thousands.

Thanks you William, Stephen & Robert for your very encouraging words. Really appreciate your input. Best Regards Dominique

Wow. Totally agree with Robert and other comments. Tigers do seem to be a popular subject. However, you have taken this subject to another level with this painting. Spectacular depth of colour - nothing 'pretty' about this tiger - it looks as if it means business. Grasses are amazing. Stunning painting.

Agree wholeheartedly with all of the above comments. Breathtaking. A superb portrait achieved without making his eyes the centre of focus.

A magnificent piece of work. Love it.

Brilliant portrait...with such effective negative background painting.

Wow! Lost for words.......

I am awe-struck. Excellent painting.
