In Resolute Repose, a majestic tiger commands the canvas with a presence that is both tranquil and unyielding. The beast sits poised, its piercing amber eyes gazing into the distance with calm determination, exuding an aura of quiet authority. Each stripe, meticulously rendered in rich oils, ripples with subtle gradients of obsidian and burnt orange, capturing the tiger’s sleek form against a dynamic acrylic background. The underlayer of acrylic weaves a tapestry of earthy greens and muted golds, suggesting a misty jungle or abstract wilderness that pulses with life yet recedes to honor the tiger’s dominance. The interplay of oil’s luminous depth and acrylic’s vibrant texture creates a striking contrast, enhancing the tiger’s serene resolve. This painting invites viewers to linger, drawn into the paradox of stillness and strength, where the wild heart of the tiger beats with unwavering purpose. Resolute Repose was the fourth in my tiger series as my love affair with tigers grew.
