Life's a bear!

or...the bear that was really a mountain lion. My oldest son was enthralled with bears when he was just a tot. He had a beautiful coffee table book called "Bears" that had great photos in it. From one of those photos, I decided to paint a bear for him to hang on the wall of his room. Only it didn't quite work out. As I was paging through the book, a Mountain Lion jumped out at me! I knew better than to fight this creative difference. This is the end result. It was painted in acrylic on a scrap of cowhide stretched on a hoop. Feathers and strips of suede were added. Painted in 1992.
