"The Tiger King"


2004
My ex brother in law went fishing and caught this beauty of a tiger fish.
My Uncle, Willie Otto, a brilliant artist said "You must learn to be more subtle with your
colors". Advice that stuck and my first attempt here.
This also is the end of my first year of painting and my 2'nd submission to the Association
of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists in Lichtenstein - A.M.F.P.A.
I was accepted into the Association as a "Student Member". Student members receive a scholarship
which is to help them improve their standard of painting by providing funds for materials, tuition etc.
When a student has reached a standard judged to be the equivalent to that of non-disabled professionals, Associate
or Full Membership is granted, something I'm eager to achieve.
I guess you could call this a wildlife painting combined with a portrait painting. It
is an oil painting on paper that I did for my brother. Dieter Marzinger a South African mouth painter who
specializes in oil paint on canvas.
This is an original oil painting, not for sale.
