A mountain lion pauses in stillness, its eyes lifted toward a single golden leaf drifting in the upper corner of the canvas. Suspended between the wild and the wondrous, the predator is momentarily transformed—no longer the hunter, but the dreamer. The contrast between its powerful form and the delicate shimmer above suggests a moment of reverence, curiosity, or perhaps memory.
The leaf, touched by gold, seems to glow with significance—an omen, a relic, or simply a fragment of quiet beauty in a restless world. In this piece, nature’s fiercest instincts meet its gentlest mysteries, inviting us to wonder: what draws even the wild to look up in awe?
