Description
I was inspired to do this when my family went up to Lake Revelstoke to visit my grandparents (who were camping there). When you pull into the little road, there are two abandoned pieces of logging equipment; a loader and a hoe chucker. I thought that it was kind of cool how these man-made pieces of machinery were left in the middle of a forested area full of deer, bears, moose, and caribou and how the natural world and the human world overlapped.

I took a photograph of the loader for reference to colouring and where its features were located and painted it with a mother bear and her three almost adult cubs examining the massive amount of metal in their territory. Momma bear is the heavier one with greyer fur sitting down.

I plan to do a few more canvas paintings where wild animals come into contact with some of man's creations. For sure two more.

Done with acrylic paints on a stretched canvas. Took me about twenty hours, roughly.
