‘O Great Spirit….help me always
to speak the truth quietly,
to listen with an open mind
when other speak,
and to remember the peace
that may be found in silence.

Gorgeous painting, absolutely adore the eyes…soulful and timeless.
Thanks very much. His eyes did show up with a soulful cast.
I wish people would listen to the hungry bears. Humans don’t listen. This gorgeous bear should be on a T-shirt with words: SAVE THE POLAR BEARS.
I think the bear would be happy to represent endangered animals. Actually this is a spirit bear…..a kermode who lives only on a few islands in British Columbia. They are mutated black bears and quite rare. Fortunately they are protected. Polar bears are much larger and their heads and bodies are quite different. I love painting both.
Amen~
Silence is grand.
It is indeed! 🙂
