Margo's Tiger, in progress 16 x 16 inches, oil on linen |
This composition has been on my mind for many years, with initial sketches dating to 2013.
The narrative relates to a memory from an afternoon when I was fifteen, and a classmate showed me her watercolor of a tiger.
The composition explores the structure of two stacked triangles - one above the other. The upper frames the faces; the lower frames the tiger.
There are seven drawings related to the composition ... three of them below:
