"The grizzly bear is a very special animal. His presence adds an excitement that no other North American animal can match. I've created this painting to share the sense of excitement I feel in grizzly country. The setting is a small mountain valley, The remnant show patches clearly show the tracks of a large grizzly. How long has it been since the grizzly bear was standing right here... where is he now? Look closely at those tracks. The snow is crisp and clean and the edges haven't begun to melt yet. These grizzly tracks are fresh. How far ahead is he? Not far at all." - Bev Doolittle
