Bear Country

Painted by artist Mary Alayne Thomas, Bear Country is a dreamy nighttime forest where a black bear, white owl, fox, and deer gather beneath a glowing full moon. Cosmos scatter across the forest floor as pink clouds drift through the darkened sky, creating a scene that feels wild and wonderfully imagined. Mary builds her paintings with graphite, ink, watercolor, and a final layer of encaustic wax, lending the artwork its signature hazy, timeworn glow. Serene and storybook-like, Bear Country transforms a bedroom, childÕs room, or creative space into a world of its own.
