Piece description from the artist
The winter here is made up of blues, grays, and emerald greens and I’ve always found it comforting so I embraced some of those cold tones in this piece. This piece is also inspired by one adventure I had taken to the mountains where a sign was posted noting a bear sighting. Fortunately, I didn't notice until I was on my way out.
