After painting two trinket boxes with a picture of Otis the bear on the lid, it was a welcome change to be asked to paint this gorgeous mother bear and cub. This is bear 910 and her adorable little one, as seen at Brooks Falls, Katmai Nation Park, Alaska.
Because the lid painting is so light, I made the decision to paint the rest of the box a light blue to match the water rather than the usual black. It's going to look good - I just have to add the lining fabric and it is done, well in time for Christmas.
I've also been fulfilling some more stuffed Otis orders and have more stuffed cub toys on the go. On the easel is a pet portrait - it's been a while since I did one of those!

So beautiful, the reflections in the water are really excellent, you're so skillful to be able to paint water so well.
