Majesty
“Majesty” 2026 Acrylic on Canvas
“Majesty” is a recent acrylic tiger painting from my latest animal art exhibition in Preston, created to mark two years of progress since coming back to painting.
I started by pouring and tilting neon acrylics across the canvas to build a vibrant, swirling background, allowing the bold colors to mix naturally without losing their intensity.
Once that layer dried, I spent hours carefully detailing the tiger’s face with fine brushes to bring out its expression, before finishing the piece off with some energetic black paint splatters for added contrast.
The original canvas and high-quality fine art prints are both available for purchase if you would love to bring this piece into your home.
Alternatively, if you have a favorite photo of your own dog, cat, or pet, feel free to send it over to me so we can discuss turning your favorite memory into a custom, hand-painted portrait tailored just for you.
