Bear, Lake, Mountain (Acrylic on Canvas)

It’s definitely not great, per the subject (trite hackneyed overdone Alaska themes, yawn) but as these things go, it’s not terrible. I wouldn’t want it on a wall in my home, but someone probably would. 

Except that it did wind up at VV. So maybe not. 

Addendum: On second glance I’ve decided I like the mountains and sky a lot. They’re distinctive. The mountains have character and they really pop against the backdrop of that sky. A painting done with that degree of style, competence and confidence, applied to other subjects, could be pretty great.

(The trees, grass, fireweed, water and bear reallllly suck though.)

Just saying…
