Description
The Puma by Amy E. Fraser. This is an expressive big cat portrait in shades of black, white and gold with penetrating golden green eyes complimented with a lilac purple background.
The Puma, also known as the Mountain Lion Cougar, Panther, or Catamount is a large cat species native to the Americas. Pumas are large, tan cats. Their bodies are mainly covered in tawny-beige fur, except for the whitish-gray belly and chest. Black markings decorate the tip of the tail, ears, and around the snout. Mountain lions vary hugely in average body size depending on geographic location, their size is smallest closer to the equator and largest closer to the poles. Generally, though, males weigh between 115 and 220 pounds and females weigh between 65 and 140 pounds. The mountain lion range spreads all across the Americas, from the Canadian Yukon to The Strait of Magellan, the greatest of range of any living mammal in the Americas. Mountain lions inhabit a wide range of ecosystems, making their home anywhere there is shelter and prey, including mountains, forests, deserts, and wetlands. They are territorial and have naturally low population densities, which means the species requires large swaths of wilderness habitat to thrive. Unlike other large cats, they cannot roar. Instead they growl, shriek, hiss and purr, similar to house cats. Mountain lions are territorial and solitary.
Amy E. Fraser’s Oil Pastel Animal Portrait series is an impassioned tribute to the beauty and magic of our beloved Animal Kingdom. Fun, gestural and energetic, these vibrant animals are painted in a stylized realism that is imbued with distinctive character and personality.
