Crouching Tiger - Acrylic wildlife representational painting by Pennsylvania Painter Pat Koscienski

"Crouching Tiger"
28" x 22"
Acrylic on canvas


This painting was done from a photograph by Barb Benik for the February challenge on her studio atelier blogspot. I had gotten several photographs of this great cat at the Washington D.C. Zoo many years ago, but none as dramatic as this pose. I did alter the background of her photo. If you have any questons or wish to purchase, contact PAT.

This is magnificent, Pat. The depth you have achieved with the foreshortening and beautifully painted edges is phenomenal. I especially like the tiger's face - there's something wise, and a bit sad in that expression.

Ditto to all the above-plus I love the extended paw--I can see and feel the forward catlike movement--sooo cool and well done.

I agree with Cecelia. I keep coming back to this painting.
