A grizzly foraging for food in Denali National Park, Alaska, blends beautifully into the autumn colors, like so many animals do, in this vast wilderness.  It was the 'V' shaped head of the bear, when lowered, that also appealed to me from an aesthetic prospective to paint.  It gives him a more gentle and vulnerable feel as he continues his relentless search for nutrients, to bulk up for the long hibernation period ahead.
