#111 – Great Bear Rainforest

This painting is a close display of a large grizzly mid stride, in a sea of grass and reeds. The eyes of the bear are strikingly dark, and it moves like a shadow through the changing fall colours. This painting is rich in saturated pigments including yellow and red oxide, cerulean blue and cobalt green. The tones are shared between the foliage and the bear, and the colour harmony communicates how discreet such a large animal can be in their native environment.
