A few photos of my current painting in progress. \u00a0I had started this painting just a few days before Grizzly bears were removed from Endangered Species status. \u00a0Sad, but fitting. \u00a0700 bears in the wild is not a high number, especially if there is a major disaster, and \u00a0to ensure no genetic mutations occur due to inbreeding. \u00a0Our priorities need to change. \u00a0So it’s fitting that I happened to choose a Grizzly as my subject for this piece. \u00a0We are steadily creating desert landscapes full of our garbage- in this case, a junkyard of cars- as we clear out the natural habitat of so many species, many endangered. \u00a0I used flowers growing out of the bear’s back as a reference to our connection to nature; this lone patch of flowers mirroring the small, shrinking natural landscape.<\/p>\n
