A mama bear stops to look at us as her cubs gather close to her.

I was inspired to paint this piece after watching a cinnamon Black Bear teaching her two cubs how to reach the ripe Saskatoon berries from the top of the bush. She would pull a branch down and sit on it while she and the cubs ate their fill of the suculent berries.

It has an impressionist feel with rich brushstrokes and texture and is framed with a solid wood antique black and gold molding.
