LESLIE KIRCHNER QUIET FORTITUDE - COUGAR

12” x 12” — Oil $1,800

Cougars are very elusive creatures. It’s rare to see them in the wild. I have seen them in the wild several times, and feel fortunate to have done so. They are present where I live, and we have had their footprints in our yard multiple times. We had prints by our front door, the same evening one was captured on a neighbors security camera. In addition I have worked with them in captivity, and they are amazing animals.
