After the Blaze—Black Bear Survivors (24″ x 36″)

SOLD

This striking original oil painting depicts a mother black bear and her cubs in a forested landscape after a recent forest fire. In the aftermath, it is a cool drizzly day with lush pine trees in the distance, but the scars of the recent fire can be seen in the charred trees in the middle ground. No amount of detail has been spared in the depiction of the mother bear, who remains front and center. Viewers will thrill as they see every hair on the bear’s coat jump out at them in seemingly three dimensions. They will also adore the cute bear cubs as they play by climbing on a tree in the background. This painting is a treat for fans of both wildlife and realist art in general.

The support is a Baltic birch plywood panel wrapped in high-quality linen. All traditional and light-fast pigments were used in the creation of this painting, which was painted in layers using the indirect method. The frame is made of natural wood in a charcoal color, almost black but more of a dark gray, to complement the subject matter and the charred trees. The care and attention put into this work of art will ensure that the painting will last for many generations of enjoyment.

The painting is 24″ (h) x 36″ (w).
