Denis Mayer, Jr. limited edition canvas print of wildlife artwork depicting a Juvenile Black Bear.

This is a giclee style print of an original gouache painting by Canadian artist Denis Mayer Jnr. (For information on how gouache differs from watercolour see the links to further information below).

Artists explanation:
"Being a father, I know the importance of providing children with a safe and comfortable home. A mother bear also wants her children to feel safe in the forest, surrounded by massive, moss lined trees, overgrown bushes loaded with fresh berries, wild and sweet or possibly a bee hive dripping with honey.

In this painting, I wanted to portray this juvenile black bear being perfectly content to climb this half rotten tree to contemplate his future. Soon he will be full grown and remembering all the good lessons from his mom."

This limited edition giclee print comes supplied in a tube. We can supply framed but would need to calculate shipping on an individual basis.

Note: Some sizes are printed to order and may not ship immediately.

Information on Denis Mayer Jr

At an early age, Denis started to use charcoal as his first medium to draw barns, still life and other subjects. Many people who saw his drawings suggested that he paint wildlife because of its fine detail which would be much appreciated in nature paintings. Soon Denis discovered that his true passion was for wildlife.

It was in 1991, when Denis walked in a gallery and discovered the artwork of Carl Brenders, who greatly inspired him to put his dream on canvas. Denis had a privilege of meeting his idol, Carl Brenders, several times and shared with him some personal thoughts and opinions, to this day. "It's refreshing to see an artist that can really paints." Carl Brenders, Wildlife Artist.
