**Final product shipped may vary slightly due to all wall hangings being original and hand-painted. Leather may have natural marks or slight imperfections due to the nature of the material, but all pieces are hand selected for exquisite quality (and that adds to making each painting original!). Leather color and shade may vary slightly.

The following is information provided by National Geographic that I thought was worth repeating as my inspiration for painting Mountain Lions: "This powerful predator roams the Americas, where it is also known as a puma, cougar, and catamount. Mountain lions like to prey on deer, though they also eat smaller animals such as coyotes, porcupines, and raccoons. They usually hunt at night or during the gloaming hours of dawn and dusk. These cats employ a blend of stealth and power, stalking their prey until an opportunity arrives to pounce. Mountain lions once roamed nearly all of the United States. They were prized by hunters and despised by farmers and ranchers who suffered livestock losses at their hands. Subsequently, by the dawn of the 20th century, mountain lions were eliminated from nearly all of their range in the Midwest and Eastern U.S. Today, whitetail deer populations have rebounded over much of the mountain lion''s former range and a few animals have appeared in more eastern states such as Missouri and Arkansas. Some biologists believe that these big cats could eventually recolonize much of their Midwest and Eastern range--if humans allow them to do so."
