The Bear's Backyard


While scouting out new painting views this morning I walked up a dirt road with a muddy patch in it. It's nearby where I painted yesterday's painting of the trees in the hay fields.   The footprints you see are what you think they are: a big bear made them, along with a few racoon tracks.   I don't know what the diagonal slide mark is from.  I was with the painter John MacDonald.  That's his hand in the photo for scale.  Anyway, I may be paranoid about it, but I am always conscious that I'm painting in the bear's backyard.
