Painted from memories of Alaska, this grizzly pauses along the shoreline with a freshly caught salmon—a quiet, powerful moment that captures the raw rhythm of life in the wild.
 
I recently returned to the painting to bring it closer to the way I see and paint today. Rather than changing the composition, I refreshed the surface with looser brushwork and a more expressive approach. 
 
For me, the painting is less about the hunt itself and more about witnessing a fleeting moment of wildness—one that reminds us that nature is both beautiful and uncompromising.
