Spirit Bear (11" x 15")
This is an original painting on 11" x 15"paper using acrylic paint. It is varnished and ready for matting and framing. The painting arrives in a plastic sleeve. I saw a documentary of the Spirit Bears, white bears that live in the coastal rainforests of British Colombia in Canada. I was touched by the relationship the First People had with these bears. With great respect, tribal members devoted their time to watch a bear to keep it safe. They would never interfere or make contact with the bear, only if there was a need. In this painting, the bear is focused on catching a salmon as it swims up river.
