Curious Cub

Curious Cub

24x24” Acrylic on canvas framed in a black floating frame made custom by (who else?) @rusticburlco.

Yes, I have painted this face before, but this painting is entirely different from the last Black Bear Cub I painted. I added in a lot of the green forest tones in the background this time around, which I feel really draws your attention to that dangling leaf in his mouth. The glazing process was different this time, even the colour pallet was slightly different. Painting it felt like painting something I have never painted before- I think because we’re always changing and growing as we go, so even the “same” painting can’t be the same painted twice.
