Original Painting Isle of Wight Zoo Zena the one eyed warrior princess of Tiger Island

Painted in acrylic on canvas 24 x 36 innches. Zena the one eyed tiger.
I drew a few pencil sketches on site then built up this picture in the studio
over a period of a week. She has been very good at posing, the last week has been sunny in the afternoons and she frequently lounges over a large rock in her enclosure, several more sketches are in the process of being upgraded to paintings.
She loves the attention all those wicked fights for dominance has left her scarred or thats what she would like us to believe. In fact she had to have her eye removed due to a disease.
