Black Bear Painting |Nature Art| Wildlife Art| Animal Art

Here’s a series of Black Bear photos I took on my upstairs deck

when I lived in the wilderness in Northern Idaho

When I first saw this little bear climbing up the post, I grabbed my camera and started shooting.

He’s continuing to climb, how far will he go? I’m very excited.

Woa, that’s enough! I’m beginning to get anxious. Time to close the glass door.

He’s looking for the seeds I put out to feed the birds; they’re on the tops of the posts.  That’s close enough , Bear.

I’m glad I closed the door! He’s right up on my second story deck. He’s as curious as I am.   He then pressed his nose up against the glass to look at me. Later he just climbed back down the pole, and sauntered back into the woods.  During that time, we had many encounters with curious bears, none with a bad outcome.

I still love Black Bears, and have painted them several times, during my career in nature art. To see more of my paintings, check out my website at http://jacquievauxart.com.
