#140 – Call of Wandering

This painting features an adult grizzly bear in the great bear rainforest. The grizzly is marching with a cadence that suggests this is a familiar mountain path, one it has travelled since it was a cub. Your eyes dance with the intrinsic movement of the painting. There is a fluid relationship between the bear, grass and sap green trees and the mountain range in the distance. The comforting blanket of fog transitions your eye towards the towering mountains which are reaching up and touching the sky. Earthy dense colours of brown, green and yellow are contrasted with the silky cerulean blues and steel greys of the mountains and sky.
