Jesus & the bear 5x 7 card gouache on watercolour. complete with matching envelope.
Bears seem to be in the news in Canada frequently, or am I just noticing because I live amongst bears?
A tree planter in BC was attacked by a bear, he was airlifted to a hospital so - that's good news. People survive bear attacks and live to tell the tale, we humans are stronger than we know & sometimes forget, Jesus is with us. Always.
Recently, I've read people have chased off a bear attacking their dogs. Yikes, one story said the woman was bit but managed to appear bigger & screaming -led the bear to flee. Some might think this crazy but until one is in the situation - we don't quite know how we will behave. It's an instinct to protect our loved ones, in the heat of the moment I think I'd probably try to save my dogs too. I don't lose sleep over it though as they are trained, I do not allow them to wonder on their own outside, we travel as a pack. Ginger is my biggest concern... It's not that Ginger 'wanders as much as she lingers & she is not fast. Visitors up here should keep their dogs on a leash as well because you never know & should be educated on the possibilities if camping or hiking. I've been told most bears will skidaddle (is that a word or a bugs bunny word? lol) as soon as they hear or smell a human, still it's best to be bear aware.
These Jesus cards are taking over my desk! Jesus doing all sorts of things like gardening. Life began in a garden, after all.
Every time I think 'today I'll paint something different, I get another idea, start sketching and 'He is a pleasure to paint.
A few lines from the bible also have me intrigued & I'm considering making them cards too. Created to create.
3 at a time -or sometimes 5, depending on mood. Each slightly different - ALL inspired by & painted with LOVE
