This painting was started in Florida over twenty years ago, where my son Lance’s “Bear” romped the green pastures with his sister Heather’s equine friend “Gypsy.” All participated in Native American venues at Buckeye Ranch in Winter Haven, FL and people always thought that Bear was a white wolf! When I started to paint “Bear” back then – the blue rocky terrain somehow materialized as his “true” setting _upon completion, “Bear’s” spirit now lives out here with me!
