Painting Bears

Well this bear was certainly a learning experience for me.  I made so many changes from what I started with.  There are things I really like about the painting and some things I am still just not sure of.  I really like the bear... I think he is pretty good for my first attempt at painting a bear.  I also really love the foreground... the daisies and lupines.  I'm just not entirely sure they fit together well.  I have posted my progress with this painting each day on Facebook and it is interesting to see the comments and people's preferences.  Sometimes, the painting I am the least happy with.... is the one that someone will absolutely love.  I think that is a great thing about art.  It speaks to you or it doesn't.  

If course, now my mind is swirling with a lot more bears... especially bears with swirls in their hair.
