MARLA EPSTEIN CONRAD’S HAVEN

14” x 18” — Oil $2,200

Mountain lions are often seen as symbols of power, strength, and grace. This is Conrad, who I have met and painted often. Conrad was a young male caught (and tagged “502”) by California Department of Fish & Wildlife while roaming near an elementary school in Redlands, California. Lions Tigers & Bears, in San Diego rescued him so that he would not be euthanized.
