This painting was a surprise sighting in South Africa! I was invited to do painting demonstrations and lectures on Cunard's Queen Mary 2 cruise ship to entertain the passengers, talking about my wildlife art. There are photos and the full story on my website. I flew down to Cape Town and joined the ship for a week. During that time, I visited a local game reserve near Port Elizabeth. Imagine my surprise - and delight - when I came across two tigers posing for photos! This one was asleep but at one point it raised its head enough to get a nice painting out of it. I see plenty of lions in the Maasai Mara so I wasn't bothered about them! This tiger, however, was a real scoop.
