This compelling composition features the face of a tiger peering through tall, vibrant green blades of grass interspersed with delicate white wildflowers. A single butterfly is perched on a blade of grass in the foreground, creating a focused point of interest. The artist uses a dense, layered application of paint to build texture and depth within the foliage. The work is signed by the artist in the lower right. The painting is housed in an ornate gilt wood frame with a repeating foliate pattern. The verso contains a handwritten inscription dated 2025, noting the artist's lineage as the niece of original Florida Highwaymen James Gibson, and mentions the "Art by the Sea" exhibit at the Vero Beach Museum of Art.
