Ghostly Quiet - Spanish Lynx by Carl Brenders

 

"My American career began with this painting. It was not a coincidence that the first painting I sold in the U.S. was one of a lynx. The American lynx and the even more American bobcat are closely related to the Spanish lynx.

 

"I was fortunate to spot a lynx in Spain, which is very rare. The scenery there is very similar to the North American landscape. Walking cats have the appearance of being ghostly; their silent walk and the mysterious feeling they radiate made me choose the title, 'Ghostly Quiet'." - Carl Brenders.
