Tiger 21 - Art by River Han printed on Bamboo Fine Art Paper

White Tiger enjoying a dip in the water, Chinese Brush Painting and Calligraphy by River Han printed on Giclée Hahnemühle Bamboo. 

This is a scene inspired during my visit to Chimelong Safari Park in Panyu, China. The white tiger is a pigmentation variant of the Bengal tiger, which is reported in the wild from time to time in India. At Chimelong Safari Park, they have raised hundreds of white tigers in a semi-natural environment and is a really amazing sight to see. 

The calligraphy for the poem was written in semi-cursive script style (行書). I am including the typed Chinese characters in the calligraphy for reference. 

暢游深潭𥚃
浮爪水上騎
不惧蛟龍住
自傲不可欺

甲午仲秋
相子畫虎

Below is my translation: 

Immerse in the deep pond 
Enjoy floating and swimming among waves 
Have no fear where the monster serpent resides 
I am the proud owner of wherever I am and would not be bullied 

Created in mid-autumn of 2014
