Backward Glance Oil on canvas 16 x 20 NFS


  This painting is from a photo my son's fiance took in Alaska of a bear standing on a boulder at the edge of coursing steam, icebergs passing in the distance and glancing behind at something off to the viewers right. Is it an unseen cub? It doesn't appear to be dangerous as our bear is just waiting, as if saying "Hurry up! Mom's waiting. The was done with a Lukas magenta acrylic underpainting-which shows through in some areas-especially in the background-adding a depth of color to the field. Clearly our waiting bear is the center of our attention
