"America's
lion (mountain lion, cougar, puma) is a skilled and formidable predator,
its favorite prey being deer. But when a good-sized meal isn't available,
smaller snacks are welcome. Although not terribly fond of water,
the mountain lion will readily get wet if it means a meal! The pose
depicted in this piece catches a mountain lion perched on a few
rocks jutting out of the water, getting ready to swipe at a fish
just out of sight below the surface. The lifesized version is meant
to be installed in a small pond. What I like about this pose is
that it has interesting silhouettes from every angle and makes a
striking piece in an intimate setting."
