Under the Banyan – Tiger
Artwork Description
Tigers are not always easy to spot in the wild, but when they make an appearance for an artist, the results can be magical, as seen above. ” A trip to India is always a wonderful adventure. The abundance of nature in such a densely populated place is always amazing. Tigers in the wild are the ultimate goal of anyone interested in the natural world of India. They are also the hardest to see. Some of our sightings have been from elephant back, some were fleeting glimpses, but the best one of my life was by the old gate in Ranthambore. There was a mother and two half-grown cubs relaxing not more than four yards from our vehicle. This painting is one of those cubs in a tranquil but proud pose.”
