A brown bear sits chest-deep in a still lake with its muzzle tipped to the sky and its eyes shut, ringed by cow parsley, yellow fennel heads and bulrushes. Robert Bissell painted it in 2014 and filled the air around it with small traffic — a hummingbird, orange and blue dragonflies, bees, pale blue butterflies, a caterpillar inching up a stem.
The fur goes together quickly; the wide pale blue sky between the flower stems is the part that takes the evening. Finished size 51 x 68cm.
The bear provides a clear focal point and wildflowers offer variety, but the sky and grass areas have fairly uniform colouring.
