This evocative artwork captures a black bear standing alert amidst its natural surroundings. The artist masterfully uses a vibrant color palette and dynamic brushwork to emphasize the bear's presence, infusing the painting with a sense of life and movement. The bear, portrayed with a blend of realism and expressive flair, stands against a backdrop of lush greenery that hints at the depths of the forest. The contrast between the bear's dark fur and the vibrant foliage draws the eye, creating a compelling focal point. This piece captures the raw beauty of wildlife, making it a striking addition for those who admire the wilderness and its majestic inhabitants.

Art by Ed Anderson.

Ed Anderson is a contemporary fine artist and former Air Force officer living in the mountains of Idaho. His style has evolved from a lifetime with art and architecture. Bold lines and bright colors have come to define his compositions. Most days you can find Ed in his home studio overlooking the Boise River on the eastern edge of town. In fact, if you do visit and it's quiet, it probably means he's off somewhere exploring in his Jackson kayak with his Boykin Spaniel, Mootie.
