This was an experiment on animals and their fur coats .  I saw a photo of a bear eating something undetermined in a tree I really liked it .  I added a dark back ground reworked the shrub turning it to a red berry bearing  shrub.

I read the old masters many times used a limited pallet  with out blue . Greens were made with black and yellow.  All greens on this were done like that.

The fur was painted in a grisaille  with glazes of color over the under painting.  I am pleased on how it turned out

This is an acrylic painting done on a 8x10 canvas panel .

Hope you enjoy viewing it . I had fun pushing my boundaries .
