Re: Cougar at rest

Mike, that is terrific, my first thought was that it was photographic. Henry said it is luminous!!

Ha Mike what a load of rubbish, I thought it was a PUDDY cat.

Now how are we going to equal that!
What I love about this forum everyones art work is encouraging each other to ' Go for it ' and that is the real fun,
So big thanks to the Cougar King
