Bear foraging for berries just before winter. Completed from references I captured while in nature.

The commission story

Study several photo references to determine the most expressive view, then create a sketch capturing the likeness on canvas, move to the under-painting to capture correct values and then taking time to complete details, sometimes I will choose my background first, other times I choose it along the way.

The outcome

The red berries and fall colors of foliage helped to capture the essence of the black bear at that moment.
