Grizzly Bear in Wonder

This has become one of my favorite paintings I have done so far. I love the misty background and the subtle different shades of blues and greens. I often struggle with painting animals, however, this painting was the first that came naturally and effortlessly. I am looking forward to painting other animals in the near future!

No photo reference used, only imagination. I'm too scared to go out looking for a grizzly bear to paint. I'm not that cool.
