“This canvas painting is based on a camping and kayaking trip to Grewingk Glacier. It’s near Homer Alaska, across Kachemak bay.  After jumping off the water taxi and unloading our kayaks and gear, we spotted a mother black bear with her cubs across a small field from our camp. The next morning in a mixture of thick fog and bright sunlight we started our three-mile hike to the glacier. I was stunned by the rich thick forest full of mushrooms, flowers, and mosses. Roughly halfway into our hike we encountered a mother black bear with her playful cubs on the trail. We waited patiently as they slowly made their way into the thick forest.  After arriving at the lake in some warm sunshine, my friend and I put on our dry suits and went for a swim.

It was a pleasure and unique experience to enjoy ice water and floating icebergs. We sat peacefully on the shore for hours taking in extraordinary beauty. I knew then, I was going to create an Art piece of my experience.  My painting features the vigilant mother black bear taking her playful cubs to the lake for a swim. This painting will be offered in a limited number of prints. Thanks for your interest.” – Brian Odermatt
