399 + 4 Intimate

SOLD. This is a wood burning that I did of the legendary grizzly 399 with her four adorable cubs. For this specific image, I could have included her entire body on the piece of wood, but I wanted it to be more intimate and focused on her with the cubs. Because of this, I cropped the image to better show her connection to her cubs. This piece was done on a giant slab of live edge poplar wood, with the dimensions being roughly 10.5x18. This piece of wood specifically was also 2 inches thick, so it exposed a lot more of the live edge on each side.

My wood burnings use reference photos from the incredible photographer and wildlife artist Sonia Reid! Her website can be found at “soniareid.com”.
