Bear Art

This bear is a lino block print that I carved for an annual gallery auction.  It is titled ‘Mato’. Then I decided to experiment with mixed media variations on the many hand-pulled relif prints I had leftover. They’ve now been printed into cards. A Bison is next, then a Coyote. The WILD BLOCK PRINTS series will also include Raven,   Pronghorn, Moose, a heart-faced Owl and lot’s and lot’s of Mustangs. Also, I’m writing letters today!  I couldn’t possibly write to Marie without including a BEAR CARD! Afterall, her name IS Bernard.  I can’t wait to write to you guys, my steadfast and truest interwebular friends, HA! about what I’ve been doing (besides working full time) where I’ve been, who I’ve seen, and how much joy I find in this wild place I live. PS: Sherpa says hello!

      It was fun! It’s not always but it helps when I love something so much, like wild animals. Then it’s easier to work on a project and find joy in it, too.

      I’m fired up about carving some wild animal blocks. This winter I’ll get to keep practicing!
      Hey, no worries whatsoever about your letter. There is no deadline, remember!
      It just pleases me that you stopped by here, Diana.

      PS: Julie, I can’t for the life of me get into your Sage n spirit blog site. No matter how I try to navigate to it it tells me I haven’t been invited. Hahaha!
      Come on. I know that’s not true.
      So, until I find some geek to help me fix it will you send me your email address?
      Mine should be somewhere on my blog page. :)
