Wildlife painting "Grizz" – Grizzly Bear

This wildlife painting "Grizz" is a bold and commanding portrait of a grizzly bear emerging from the water, painted in rich, lifelike detail. Measuring 30 by 40 inches, this piece captures the raw presence of the animal with a direct gaze that’s both powerful and calm. The bear’s thick fur is rendered in warm earth tones, while water streams from its mouth and chin in white, ribbon-like strokes, blending into the deep teal of the surrounding water. Its nose, painted in an unexpected shade of violet-blue, adds a surreal pop of colour and personality. Set against a soft grey sky, this painting creates a striking contrast between wilderness and serenity—inviting viewers to connect with the spirit of the wild up close.
