Golf is a sport that unites people, and nowhere is this connection better symbolized than in a striking acrylic painting named "The M Tiger." This 12"x12" canvas piece is a vibrant representation of the spirit and passion inherent in the game.
The M Tiger | 12”x12” Acrylic on Canvas | Gift from the Artist to Matthew Lewis
"The M Tiger" captures the essence of golf—a tiger lying in repose with a golf flag as a testament to the sport's blend of calm precision and inner fire. The tiger's bold yellow and black palette reflects the focus and strength required in golf, while the red flag symbolizes the achievements and shared experiences on the course.
Gifted to Matt Lewis, "The M Tiger" is not only a representation of the sport's challenges but also its camaraderie. To Matt, this piece is a constant reminder of the friendships forged and the serene beauty found in golf’s quiet moments.
Matt, as the keeper of "The M Tiger," is reminded daily of the joys the sport brings—both through solitary play and the community it creates. The painting is a nod to the countless stories and memories made among fellow golf enthusiasts.
Now, it's time for Matt to share his personal connection to "The M Tiger" and the bonds created through golf.
“I grew up and enjoying golf. It was my favorite thing to do throughout my childhood. As I grew older, Tiger Woods became the man he is today. It’s funny because I look back now and think about how much the greatest golfer of our generation impacted the game. Tiger Woods, is synonymous with golf and synonymous with one of the greatest athletes that will ever experience and a generation with likes of Wayne Gretzky of Tom Brady and Babe Ruth. There are two things about golf that I think about when I think about this game when is Tiger Woods and the other is the greatest golf tournament that we will experience the greatest major that we experience in this part this painting makes me think of those things it is truly a cherish thing that we get to see experience and I’m very lucky that my friend Zikki made this painting for me because he knows how much my love of the game is and he knows how much I appreciate greatness and the greatest of all time.”
