I was looking through some copies of the fantastic 'National Geographic' magazine one day
when I came across an article about 'Siberian Tigers', I must admit I did not even know
that they existed in that part of the world, and as usual it told the story of how there are
now only a few of them left. Being a huge 'cat' lover, (of both big and small ones,) I was
really taken by the fantastic photographs that accompanied the sad story of their near
extinction, and I knew I had to produce a painting. Working from the pictures I was able
to paint this magnificent beast in all it's majesty. I am often puzzled as to how we humans
can allow such creatures to be destroyed.
