Siberian Tiger in snow.

Magnificent work, Eric! I can almost hear this big cat pant...wow!

how long did it take you to make one of these tiger pictures? do you have to work like 12 hours a day to make enough money to pay bills and travel? or is being a professional artist more relaxed than that? does qualifying for art competitions allow you to travel for free, all expenses paid? in other words, does your art take you places? please tell me, i can't find this information anywhere and i don't know if i should try to become an artist or what, answering these questions would heavily effect what i do with the rest of my life so any information or advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

WOW, stunningly realistic! A new fave for sure.

STUNNING!!!

Absolutely incredible! You are the best pastelist I have ever seen in my life! Each of your pieces amazes me. Your talent seems to be limitless.

Such a majestic beast! you have a great talent, and impeccible color sense

Hi Eric! Great to see you here. Magnificent work as always!!

Okay now.. I do so love tigers and this one, in an oh so natural setting just makes you hope they can survive our foolishness.. one of my favorite pieces of yours.. but it's kinda hard to pick just one.. And thanks for your comment on my work..
