Description
Tigers are among the most recognizable and popular of the world's charismatic animals. They have featured prominently in ancient mythology, folklore, and continue to be depicted in modern films and literature.
Sadly the tiger is an endangered species. Poaching for fur and body parts and destruction of habitat have simultaneously greatly reduced tiger populations in the wild. At the start of the 20th century, it is estimated there were over 100,000 tigers in the wild but the population has dwindled outside of captivity to between 1,500 and 3,500. In zoos, tigers have lived for 20 to 26 years, which also seems to be their longevity in the wild.

The warmth of color and light are so inviting and lull the viewer like the big cat in the image.

Beautiful! You captured the attitude and majesty of this animal in your painting!

Thank you ...This is from an original photograph I took. I've been painting and drawing with my Wacom - Intuos pad. I've had it for a while and its been something of a learning curve to translate the ability of painting
