Original Oil Painting on Linen Canvas Private Collection The cougar, mountain lion, is a reclusive big cat of the American wilderness. It is a formidable predator, a graceful and efficient hunter, stalking with intent and pouncing with finality. This is a piece too fair To be a child of Chance, and not Care. No Atoms casually together hurl'd Could e'er produce so beautiful a world.
John Dryden, 1631-1700 Wildlife Art Paintings |
