Wild Tiger

A Celtic tiger, now there's something you hardly ever see! This painting was a private commission, and the challenge was to create not only the tiger in a Celtic style, but to also incorporate a leafy feel to his background out of knotwork.

Celtic felines in ancient artifacts were either domestic household cats or lions, so it was really interesting figuring out how I was going to create a tiger version and get his ruff and stripes depicted appropriately! He's painted in wonderful vibrant colors, and I love the way the green offsets the oranges and reds in him.
