Description:

Robert Bateman's "First Alert" limited edition canvas, signed and numbered 123/180. This piece is a closeup of a tiger portrait.
WildlifeArt.

"I much prefer predators to prey species for my artwork. Prey are often cute and cuddly and sometimes a bit blob-like. Predators often have more defined shapes with interesting planes for drawing or painting. Although I like bears and wolves, cats are probably my favorite subjects. Lions and cougars are great, but it's hard to beat tigers. Their striking orange and black patterns seem to enhance their expression.
The expression of this tiger at this moment seems particularly dynamic. As with humans, a millimeter change in the opening of the eyes, the angle of the brows, the attitude of the mouth area, make all the difference. In this case, with the eyes wide and the whiskers pointed slightly forward as well as the head raised, I hope that I have caught the instant of full alertness." - Robert Bateman
