Bears

This morning I primed 2 canvases, and while they were drying, I decided to work on my bears.  I have a painting in mind that has a single bear sitting amidst wildflowers on a mountainside.  I have the picture quite clearly in my mind.... it is from a photo that was generously given to me by Terry Isaac.  The image in my mind has a lot of colour and is not photorealism but I still want to the bear to resemble a bear.  So.... I am working on my bear sketches.  

I am finding, they are not all that easy.  I'm struggling with the snout and eyes.  So far, my bears look way too friendly.  I've never come face to face with a bear yet, or been chased by one... and I think that experience would help me draw a more realistic bear..... however, that is entirely too dangerous.  :)  I know this is goofy, but when I see wild animals... my first desire is to hug them.... so far that is showing in my sketches.  I have to work on this.

So, for today.... i will continue my sketches until I feel comfortable, and then I will paint.  I think the painting part will come together nicely.  This will be my first animal in a painting.  I'm kind of excited :)

anks for sharing the article, and more importantly, your personal experience of mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
