Painted, with permission, based on a photo from the amazing Michelle Valberg. She is a great ambassador for wildlife and her bear images are amazing. She captured the mother and cubs on a rocky beach, I just fell in love with the cubs. They had just spent a long time play fighting and were just about to fall asleep.

2 grisly cubs sleeping together based on a reference photo (used with permission) from Michelle Valberg.

Created using Wallace Seymour Oil paints on cotton canvas
