Tiger Art Competition
I have been following Angela Finney’s journey with an art competition (as in, she showed me the finished pieces after they were submitted) that is right up my alley. They are given a reference photo (in this case a pair of tigers resting) and let loose to interept it as they so choose. The judge is a renown artist and author, Polly Anna Pickering.
The artwork submitted can be viewed at Melanie Phillip’s Website. Melanie has a very cool website with all sorts of information and forums for the critter artist.
The awards have not yet been posted so click here to go over and take a peek and pick your favorites.
Wow, so many of them are really great! Which one is Angela’s?
Ummm . . . not sure that knowledge is allowed to the public yet, since the winners haven’t been announced. So I’ll let Angela say, if she can.
Sorry, can’t say who’s is who’s until the judging is over.
The competition was great fun. It was a motivating learning experience to research and experiment with workable artistic yet appropriate backgrounds for these Amur/Siberian Tigers. Melanie Phillips, already a successful pet portrait artist, puts alot of work into the Pet Portrait and Wildlife Art Forum, which sponsored the competition and is a wealth of free information and company for both established and aspiring pet and wildlife artists.

Heya Mona!!
Its been crazy busy here with deadlines for xmas so have been dipping in and out of your post but so pleased to read your post about the tigers. Aren’t they all fantastic! I cant belive how many wonderful entreis we had and im sure Pollyannas got a difficult job to choose! It was an odd time of year to do the comp as everyone is working on xmas portraits but we will have another next year. Pollayanna hasn’t got back to me yet, but i will let you know as soon as the winner and the runner up is announced! : )

Yeay for being recognized by the way!
Good for both of you (Melanie & Angela) to be so busy with holiday portraits.
Do let me know when the winners are announced. I keep popping in to look over the work and find new images to be intrigued by.
