Summer Swim (2026) Original Oil Painting by Ira Whittaker

This original oil painting portrays a tiger swimming through calm green water on a warm day. Only the upper part of its body rises above the surface, while the rest moves powerfully beneath.
Tigers are strong swimmers and often enter water to cool down in hot climates. Here, the animal moves with confidence and ease, its steady gaze focused ahead. The water ripples gently around its body, creating a natural reflection that shimmers below.
The painting captures a simple, authentic moment from the wild — not a hunt, not tension, but movement and comfort. The rich green tones of the water contrast with the warm orange and black stripes, emphasising the tiger’s presence and physical strength.
