CAROL LUNDEEN IT’S ALL IN THE EYES - COUGAR

16” x 20” — Oil $2,500

While attending a wildlife/photography workshop years ago, we were given the opportunity to photograph this cougar in it’s natural habitat. The day was overcast and somewhat disappointing to do photography in. The cougar crouched on a rock and at just that instant, a bit of sun popped through the clouds and illuminated the cat’s eyes. My heart jumped. My camera clicked. And I just had to paint the end result.
