WEEK 42 - Grizzly - Oil on Linen 10" x 10"

Sold


Had a interesting encounter with a grizzly two weeks ago. I was hunting with a friend of mine and he spotted a bear down a logging road. Thinking it was a black bear and we might get a good picture, I turned around and we headed down the road towards the bear. The bear which turned out to be a grizzly was not spooked and as we came to a stop, about 20 yards away, the bear turned and charged us.
This painting depicts his stance after the charge. I choose to put the bear in a more natural setting.
