Spider on the Ceiling, original contemporary figurative landscape of kittens

The thrill of traversing the beautiful spring countryside rushes color to their cheeks, tightens their calves, lowers their heels and steadies their hands as they ready for the hunt. The horn is sounded, the hounds begin chase and the riders reassure their horse while urging them forward. The scent of the fox, the chase, the jumping across the creeks and over downed branches has come to an end for another equestrian hunt shared with the other highly regarded club members.

The buck stands proud at river's edge as he surveys his domain, assessing nature's shades of blue, rust and gold staring back at him.

The stillness in the air is beginning to stir as the glistening seemingly silver river rocks bare witness.
