Bobbing for Apples

This artwork portrays a realistic scene featuring a brown bear partially submerged in water, likely a river or a lake. The bear has a gentle, almost contemplative expression on its face as it looks at a bite taken out of a red apple. The apple is held in the bear's right paw, which is raised to its mouth, while another whole apple floats on the surface of the water. The bear's fur and the water are rendered with detailed brushstrokes that capture the light and shadow, augmenting the realistic quality of the painting. Heart-warming fun for a bear splashing around and bobbing for apples.

Behind the bear, the background is a darker blur of greenery and forest, which provides a natural context and contrasts with the vibrant red of the apple. The entire scene evokes a sense of serenity and an interesting narrative moment where nature and a seemingly human action intersect.

The original oil painting is 24"W x 24"H x1.5"D on gallery wrap canvas. A copy of this painting is available as a Giclee, signed and numbered. There is a limited edition of 50. All Giclee prints are shipped ready for hanging or framing. Please specify mounting preferences. Please allow 3 - 4 weeks for delivery.
