Description
I painted this guy while living in a yurt in some canyons in southwest Colorado. That area has the most densely population of cougars in the lower 48 states of the United States. I once came face to face with a mountain lion up in western Montana at the end of a nine hour hike. He/She let out its fierce roar in total darkness about fifteen feet in front of me. My instincts took over and I stomped my right foot and yelled, "Hey!". I could see the bright tan of its underbelly as it ran away towards the mountains where I just came from.
