Karol Talbert taught for forty years in elementary and middle schools. She is now a permanent student of watercolor painting. As an animal lover, she saw a tiger emerging from the human features that had been formed into a basic clay mask. How wonderful to compare our human face to a wild animal's face.  Two small wild eyes became nestled in the tiger's white fur eyebrows, the tiger nose had to broaden and lengthen while camouflaging the tip of the human nose under the painting and hiding the human mouth. The tiger's large vicious mouth is concealed in two soft white cheeks. So the human mask has "morphed" into an endearing tiger image!
