8x10x3/4” original acrylic painting on canvas

Goodness, bears have the cutest faces. We recently had one up a tree in our neighborhood. The bear had a look on its face like, “This was a terrible idea.” Haha! Whenever we hike with our little ones, of course we’re “bear aware” and have the necessary precautions, but we rarely have to shout “hey bear!” because the 3 and 5 year olds make sure all wildlife is fully aware of our presence with their constant happy chatter.

I definitely want to paint MORE bears! I loved creating this guy so much.
