Artwork description:

One of the best parts of being able to create pictures is the fact that a dream can be made real, at least on paper that is. My dream to be able to get close enough to a tiger, without being mauled, but to be able to stroke and embrace it is overwhelmingly strong. So the thought that we could travel together through the wilds of India might be a total flight of fancy, but at least it is made more possible if I can put it down on paper and make it real that way.
This is an overlaid monotype print for the colour and a Linocut printed on the top. This is still at the initial stages, in that I haven't quite decided on what to do for the colours or composition of leaves and shadows. It is the second of my Artist's proof.

Materials used:

Somerset cream-coloured 300gm and oil based inks
