What the artist said: "As a wildlife artist, I owe a great debt to the subjects I paint. This is especially true of the big cats. So when I was invited to Ranthamboure in India to study it's tigers and be part of a major conservation project, I jumped at the chance. This painting was inspired by the National Park and the love of the cats that I saw on this trip."
