In 2022, my daughter Georgia challenged me to make a painting about tigers as it was Year of Tiger. I had to think about it for a while and in December, 2022 as the Julian calendar year was coming to a close, Georgia politely let me know I was running out of time. What she didn’t realize was that the year of the Tiger from the Lunar Calendar bought me another month. I pretty much made the deadline and the result was this painting, Yellow Tiger Swallow Tail. In it, Falconry-tiger jockeys compete for the Stromboli Cup just off the shores of the eponymous volcanic island which is part of the Aeolian Archipelago in the South Mediterranean Sea.
