Close ups
Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.This is my contribution to The Up Close Animal Challenge at DPW posted by Taryn Day.

I have always enjoyed painting animals' eyes! Eyes are the " Mirror of the Soul". The eyes of animals are actually capable of showing a range of expressions. Plus I had fun with all the colors involved in the coat of this tiger.
I hope you like it.
