King in Waiting

Normally, I can take tiger paintings or leave them alone - so many of them are just copies of magazine photos and look as if the artist has never seen a real big cat in their entire life (or even the local tabby....). But this one is special, because a) you clearly HAVE studied wild animals, and b) because it's so brilliantly painted. And I see you're on the Isle of Wight - well, what better place? And we have tigers in Sandown Zoo.

Absolutely gorgeous. I feel as if I could stroke him.

Jane this is stunning. What a King he is. The work on his fur and subtle tones are wonderful. Love your gallery too.
