A painting I made when first rediscovering my passion. I love the using layers and slightly offset brush strokes and colours to capture movement in a still image. Upon researching an interesting fact for this post I was surprised to learn that a tigress uses the white spots on the back of her ears to communicate with her cubs. They act as a flasher to the cubs, when a tigress senses danger she flattens her ears and the cubs respond by crouching down and hiding.
