Portrait Marathon: TIGER's turn! (I stand corrected!)

Thanksgiving was great, with lots of family fun and food.  I'm re-charged and ready to PAINT!

Jennifer's Ruler TIGER is up next.  Jennifer sent me a wonderful photo to work from.  Look at that happy boy, with the jaunty tail!








Cropping and getting a general idea for background got me this final reference image.

Now, on to the canvas!

(Edited to correct Tiger's name.  Tiger is not Ruler.  Silly Xan!  ;P )
