Description
Acrylic paint on 40" x 32" canvasAs always my crappy photography doesn't do it justice. I had to use the flash on my camera and it kinda flattened and washed out the face.
*EDIT: Here's a photo of 'Swimmer' without the flash --->luckyraeve.deviantart.com/art/…

Wow, this is an amazing piece! I'm sorry that the face was flattened by the flash, but the overall impression is very good, and the water looks so real that I almost want to dive and swim with the lovely tiger (hoping it won't kill me for the annoyance. XD)

This is so beautiful. If the camera didn't do your painting justice, then I can't even how awesome it must actually be.
