Twenty years instudio building reputation for wildlife art in a hyper-realistic manner led to a near decade's exodus to painting on-location outdoors. The result has been a loosening of my style & joyous discovery of celebrating life thru paint. Of late, I've had my urges to paint some wildlife once again, the challenge to treat the subject with that same joy and simplicity I've found in the landscape- namely...impressions "simply stated!"

Winter Run Off Black Bear...8"x 10" oil
Painted the waterfalls and woodland scene first, then added this black bear. Will work a bit more color, some warms and softening to get the bear to feel the light and surrounding environment
here is a closeup...click on either image to see larger.
