"Memories of Montana - Grizzly Bears"

20" x 24" original oil on canvas

This scene was recreated from the memory of the client who was hiking up the mountain in Montana.  Although he was looking for deer at the time, he spotted a sow grizzly and her cubs.   The sow stood up and started sniffing the air.  He hunkered down in the grass, hoping she wouldn't see him, and remained still until she finally took her cubs and left the area.  It was difficult to recreate someone's memory, and it took a lot of time, but I am very pleased with the results.
