In this painting I wanted to convey the wild and beautiful country where bears roam, and more importantly to convey through the bears expression that we are trespassing on HIS turf.
I sold this painting at the Florida Wildlife Art Exposition, I could have sold it there many times over which I found amusing at the time, and now upon reflection it makes me feel good that the American Public have grown so fond of this magnificent animal. He really is a symbol of all that is wild and beautiful in America.
