In Tall Timber - grizzly feeding by wildlife artist Rod Frederick

In Tall Timber - grizzly feeding by wildlife artist Rod Frederick available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

 

“This was one of my first paintings of a grizzly,” says artist Rod Frederick, “and it’s also one of my favorites. The setting is Glacier National Park, a haven for grizzlies in the lower 48 states because it’s over a million acres; since it was established in 1910 the wildlife were protected early on. There are an estimated 300 grizzlies in the Park. Grizzlies can be dangerous but despite their size and strength they are predominantly vegetarian and learn from their mothers where and when to look for succulent food. We interrupted this forager and I recommend we take a step back now … many steps back.”
