Painting directly within tiger habitat allowed him to experience the landscape at ground level and to connect far more closely with the extraordinary environment he was trying to capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe finished painting brings together many of the defining elements of Pench. A \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBengal tiger\u003c\/span\u003e stands at the water’s edge, surrounded by the brilliant greens and blues of the dry tropical forest. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCormorants and Egrets\u003c\/span\u003e gather around the lake and \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003estriped tiger butterflies\u003c\/span\u003e move through the scene, creating a wonderful sense of life and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe composition is full of John’s characteristic colour and rhythm, but the story behind the painting gives it an additional intensity. John completed the work after a long walk through the forest with his team and guards. Remarkably, just \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003efive minutes after they left the forest guards’ base\u003c\/span\u003e, a tiger that had been hiding nearby emerged and crossed the very path they had taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThat encounter captures the extraordinary reality of painting in Pench: the tiger is often present even when unseen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRather than presenting wildlife as separate from its surroundings, John places the tiger completely within its habitat, surrounded by water, birds, insects, trees and grasses. The painting becomes a celebration of the whole ecosystem and of the privilege — and vulnerability — of experiencing tiger country on foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eTiger Country, Pench, India\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimate and vivid record of one of John Dyer’s most immersive painting experiences in the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-product-heading\"\u003eItem Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table-data-sheet\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFramed Original Painting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArtist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCornish Artist John Dyer (born 1968)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSigned by the Artist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSigned by John Dyer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePainting size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcrylic on canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFramed size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.5 x 17.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe St Ives style picture frame is a Renaissance-inspired cassetta frame, Italian for 'little box', featuring a white stain finish that highlights the wood grain.
