Mama Bear

36”x36” acrylic on birchwood panel, framed in maple-stained birchwood custom-made floating frame.

This painting is of a Kamchatka brown bear, currently residing in Brno Zoo in Czechia. I found the mysterious expression on her face captivating and I feel like she embodies the Momma Bear title very well.
