Wildlife artist Bonnie Marris is exuberant about her favorite
subjects: wolves, horses and bears but just about any wildlife
subject portrayed with their young is the most exciting of all.
Marris took what became, for her, an historic research trip to
Yellowstone National Park last year because she was lucky enough
to witness an unusual number of bear and their young. Stationed
near one of the only fast-running rivers in the Park, Marris
observed the mother bring her babies down to see water for the
first time. A ferocious and dangerous mammal, this mother bear
treated her cubs with gentle patience and care. |
