So it might SEEM like I am cranking out a piece a day by the way my blog posts come together, but I actually often have multiple projects on the go at any one time. The bear was about 80% done in Early February, but just got around to finishing him up today. And the horse I have been working on concurrently with the bobcat over the past month.
Bears are full of amusing antics. I love watching them play with items in their environments and at times they definitely seem to have a sense of humor! Once of the challenges with them in art is that they have TINY eyes. As a species they are driven mostly by smell, so they have no need for large eyes. This makes capturing light in the eyes and personality in them quite difficult. I loved this fellows 'give me a break' expression.

Zen is the name of this lovely Friesian mare, and I liked it as a title for this work as well. This work will likely be headed to the Settlers West Invitational Art Show in May.
