“Looking Homeward“
Oil on canvas, 13″x21″ wide.
Artist Commentary: I spent Saturday above the banks of the Great River. A cobalt sky set the snow-capped peaks of the Misty Mountains in crystalline relief, and I perched my easel upon the crest of a brush-strewn hill; surrounding me were the bleached bones of an ancient wind-felled oak tree.
At midday, I had sketched the glimmering peaks, when the light spring breezes died away and a hush fell upon the woodlands. Then came a crashing of undergrowth on the slopes beneath me, and ere I could bolt, a great grizzled bear emerged on the ridge and stood upon the very bole of the oak tree. Lifting his gaze to the west, the forest monarch growled and hurled an ursine curse toward the distant peaks. Then he departed, leaving me shaken, but unharmed.
