This painting was begun in 1998 and abandoned. Recently Jens Klinner asked me to go through my stacked paintings and I found it and refinished it. The Cougar is crossing a wetland which is based on the riverine oxbow wetlands in the Cascades Western Slope, some ref shots I originally had but have since lost were from Nehalem I believe, but the setting could be many places across the US or Canada. The last element I added was a Beaver Lodge. I was happy to be able to incorporate one in a painting, and perhaps it’s appropriate that it’s a Mountain Lion painting. WDFW researchers did a study and found that the favorite food of the Cougar in Washington is Beaver.
