"They Would Clap for Tigers" Acrylic & Resin 20” X 20” $400 This became a huge challenge for me, and not because of my ability to paint. Six paintings later I have finally achieved something that connects each word and its meaning together as a piece of art. The Tiger has a spiritual significance. It teaches us the skill of walking meditation; throughout the day he is deep in meditation. The Tiger teaches us to align with the universe, spend time in solitude, and envision our next quest, seeing every step and accomplishing the secrets of our heart. The spirit animal is renowned for her focus, her patience and fearlessness. The symbolism continues to teach the lesson that patience is the forgotten key… holding perhaps the greatest powers. The Tiger is frequently an emblem of the Samurai, carrying courage and bringing one to impossible triumphs. Clapping represents many things, achievement, courage, talent, honor, glory, and much more.
