Description
This is another artwork that just sort of grew over time. My original idea was just to have some sort of animal themed art where some sort of mammal was drinking from a pond. I started with just a fox, but the reflectivity of the water made me think of the style of one of my favorite artists, John William Waterhouse. I've always been a big fan of his paintings. In his works, you see lots of young pretty women, so I added the woman. with the dreamlike quality I was seeing in the image, I decided to give her a nightgown to emphasize the sleep-dream angle of this. The fox, no longer being exciting enough was replaced with a tiger, which gave a nice orange splash to a rather dark composition. I added the bubbles to add a bit more balance to the picture and to really push it into dreamland.

Fantastic creative work, Daniel. The reflection is amazing. Would be cool to see a leash on the tiger - I only say that because of the position of the woman's hand - looks like she might be holding a lead. Love the expression on the tiger's face. :)
