Tiger - big pussycat by Mel Kilroy

Hummmmm! Not sure about the 'pussy cat' bit, but this is a lovely portrait of a magnificent animal.

You picture really stands out from the crowd and looks photographic in the the small version, which means that you have all the tones just right. Well painted.

Thanks everyonefor your comments on my paintings. (special thanks to Stephen for pointing me in the direction of POL) - it's really good to get encouragement and advice - Linda I would more than agree with you about the grounding of the tiger mum and cubs. One of the frustrations about being on a set timescale is that you don't get much time to sit and give the thing a good coat of looking at before saying it is truly complete. :)

A lovely, sympathetic portrait of a deceptively pussy-cat-looking beast....I think it's the look in the eyes, which are so well done.
