A lovely painting of a beautiful predator with the touch of gold giving an extra punch to the picture well done Karen.

I do get a bit jaded about the portraiture of big cats, and especially tigers, because there seem to be more paintings of them than there are tigers in the wild. But this one is so good it has to be an exception - apart from anything else, this tiger is in repose and not sitting square on the canvas as if he were posing, as in "I think you'll find this is my best side..", and it's altogether more interesting as a result. And then the colour, the sense of weight and latent power, combine to make this a very special portrait.

Having caught up on commissions, a serious play has been earned! Somebody gave me a sheet or two of gold leaf and this image of a tiger sprang to mind. Another one I've had on the back burner for a while wondering how to tackle the darks.

Karen Thomas

After a promising early start I was told (as so many artists are) to get a ‘proper job’! Fast forward more years than I care to mention, and a move to Devon it all came flooding back out. After a period of experimentation and a stint of formal learning, I quickly became mesmerised by my own…
