Footprints

As a child, I remember when walking with my Dad past very tall grasses or cattails that he would say in an excited voice, “Looks like a great spot for a tiger to hide!” Invariably, now when I see similar grasses, I think of him and tigers.

For Dad’s 85th birthday this coming July, I painted this piece. (He just “opened” it yesterday because I am here on the east coast visiting Mom and Dad.) I thought it would be fun to add a bit of excitement to the piece..... footprints going to the water’s edge. Hmm, I wonder when the tiger last ate.
