New to the Neighborhood - Cougar and Magpies by wildlife artist Carl Brenders

New to the Neighborhood by Carl Brenders, available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

 

"It was interesting to show the power of nature, painting a one thousand-year old juniper tree growing on a rock, left there in prehistory. So, the animals that I put in this magnificent scenery are quite new to this incredible landcape, which was formed long before their existence. The meaning of the title refers mainly to the above, but it can also be interpreted that the cougar is new to the neighborhood and disturbs the magpies or vice-versa: I leave you, the viewer, the choice."  - Carl Brenders.
