Can't Stop Now


This is the way it goes when the painting beckons you back. Someone once said it's takes two to paint, one to do the painting and another to stand behind them with a baseball bat to let them know when to quit. Anyway I obviously just had to take the animal further with some glazing and brushwork. Still basically using the same colors, yellow ochre, van gogh brown and burnt sienna. Trying to make the animal "pop" a bit without profiling it too much. Also decided some gray rock in foreground would be appropriate to emphasize the silent stalk a cougar would make. What do you think?

Nice background. I like how you have given the cougar a hungry look.
