Black Bear

We're Going on a Bear Hunt

We're going on a bear hunt,

We're gonna catch a big one,

What a beautiful day,

We're not scared.

Oh ,oh! Grass,

Long, wavy, grass.

We can't go over it,

We can't go under it,

We've gotta go throught it!

Swishy swashy, swishy swashy.

OH NO IT'S A BEAR!!!

Brown Bear

This week I am working on a commission for a couple of bear "portraits." Honestly, I don't really think of myself as a wildlife painter, but I just love doing them (and do many of them). Who doesn't love a cuddly teddy bear?

If you ever, ever, ever

meet a grizzly bear,

You must never, never, never

ask him where

He is going,

Or what he is doing;

For if you ever, ever dare

To stop a grizzly bear,

You will never

Meet another grizzly bear.
