Title: Emergence of a Wet Bear - Limited Edition Reproduction Print
My Wet Bear Encounter:
I met this bear on the coast of Lake Clark National Park, Alaska. It was my first time to the State and seeing a bear in the wild! What an incredible and exhilarating experience. Every day we went out to the mudflats (with a professional bear guide) and trudge through the thick, sticky mud to photograph the bears clamming. One morning, we were photographing this bear when he looked up, right down my lens. The look was curious but also a warning not to get too close. Then he carried on. In that brief moment, there was a primal connection that I will never forget. I knew I had to paint that moment.
Bear meaning and symbolism include strength, courage and protection, nobility, patience, playfulness, and other admirable traits. The bear spirit animal reminds you to find your inner reserves of strength and power. You may not always realize you have it, but you do! The bear spirit animal reminds you to exert extreme protectiveness of those you love and that which you hold dear. Those you love may be your family members, close friends, or even a group of people who are suffering under abuse of power. The bear also reminds you to protect your convictions, your ideals, and your vision for the future. The bear spirit animal is the quintessential protector and guardian. The bear spirit animal reminds you that no matter how much you want to achieve a goal, often it’s patience and tenacity that will get you what you want. Furthermore, you must hone your skills, which requires time and practice.

*What is "Rolled/Loose Canvas"? - NOT wrapped or stretched over bars/wooden frame. It's just the canvas that can be rolled and shipped into a tube! This is a more affordable option and can be either framed like paper or stretched over bars!
**What is "Gallery Wrapped"? - AKA: canvas over bars, canvas stretched over bars, stretched canvas, mounted canvas - basically a normal canvas that is stretched over a wooden frame that you would find at an art store! This does not need to be framed.
