Finally uploading this. I finished it a couple of days ago, but we've been having a garage sale so I've been way busy.

I really like this painting. It doesn't look as great online because I don't think I got the seam right when I photoshopped my scans together (my scanner is not big enough so I have to scan the image in pieces) I think its just a tad off which makes it look a little off. Whatever.

I'm not sure how long it took to paint this, probably at least 14 hours.

Tigers are the largest of the big cats and are exclusively found in Asia from India to Vietnam, from Indonesia to the Russian Far East. The tiger can be divided into 9 subspecies: 4 are currently critically endangered and 3 are already extinct. Though estimations of tiger populations only a few years ago was 5,500-6,000, today populations are likely closer to 3,500 and are still declining. Dramatic declines of the tiger in India, thought to host the majority of the world's tigers, have fallen to less than 1,411. Overall, the past decade has seen a 40% reduction in tiger habitat, which now represents a mere 7% of its historic range. Poaching is a significant problem throughout the tiger's range, the demand for its body parts in traditional medicines, tonics, and exotic dishes driving a lucrative trade that is wiping out entire populations. Long-term threats include habitat fragmentation and prey depletion, which is accelerating the tiger's demise and subsequently reducing the long-term genetic viability of many populations.

If you want to help, the best for you to do is to educate yourself ([link] ), never buy products made from tigers or endangered species ([link] ), and tell others. Contact *HeWhoWalksWithTigers for more information.
