heartfelt
she walked this world
melded with seasons
her ways were natural
spirit and flesh of bear and woman

last year i had the honor of photographing
a grizzly bear in our neighborhood:
such wonderful markings under it's eyes
such a beautiful fur coat
and
and
such long nails!

I made this piece on Yupo paper
it is synthetic and slippery
i started with alcohol markers but was not pleased and switched to watercolors,
layer after layer of paint

oh wow the texture on that bear woman is so rich. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI hope you used a long lens? Aren't they dangerous? She is extraordinarily beautiful though, dangerous or not.

OMG a real bear!! I'd be far too scared. The most we get around here are foxes and they're pretty timid on the whole. Great photo!xx
ReplyDeleteTammie! So lovely to catch up on all your blog posts, I've missed so much since my laptop died. =_=
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful bear woman. I adore the rich texture and soft colours. Wow! bears are such stunning creatures to see...although from a nice distance. ^^
Oh look at him
ReplyDeletehe is gorgeous and
a great inspiration
for your stunning creation.
Bear woman embraces
the strength and tenderness
of a woman.
I think that
is why we relate
so strongly
to her gentle life force.
hugs and blessings
Tammie Lee
best wishes in the new year
hugs and love
