{"product_id":"tiger-garden","title":"Tiger Garden Print","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOver the years, patterns have emerged regarding how and what I create. This spring, I had the opportunity to create a fabulous, large-scale triple tiger commission which led to tiger studies, painting my fireplace (mural) and this fabulous “Tiger Garden.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI absolutely love tigers: the color, the unique striping of their fur. They are beyond fabulous. What I love most about this painting is my willingness to abandon the “rules” of painting. I adore working with color, and for some reason, I felt called to include both black and navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eYears ago, I would have immediately dismissed this idea. The thought of “I couldn’t possibly do that” has turned into “why not?” When I started the painting, I wanted to include flowers because I was teaching a class with florals as the subject matter in a few weeks. I wanted to paint them pink, and again, with that punchy of a orange, I would have dismissed it in the past. But, I ignored the immediate negativity and just did what I wanted to do, and sometimes the coolest things happen! I love pushing the boundaries with color, color combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI would describe my style as Fauvism with its “use of intense, non-naturalistic color, and bold spontaneous brushwork.... the “wild beasts” broke with traditional representation to express emotion through pure color.” In addition to the roses, I included lilies because my grandfather called my grandmother “tiger lily,” and I wanted to add that as a sweet homage to them. I hope my art makes you smile or takes you on an adventure. I’m honored you’re here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAvailable in 5\" 7\" or 5\" x 10\". \u003c\/span\u003eEvery print is hand signed by me \u0026amp; each order is packed with lots of love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tessa Lang Asheville Paintings","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":48013776224414,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small","offer_id":48013820493982,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/5583\/2734\/files\/04987BD1-B651-4EB9-A361-63E00B6CD3E0.jpg?v=1784682534","url":"https:\/\/tessalangpainter.com\/products\/tiger-garden","provider":"Tessa Lang Asheville Paintings ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
