BLACK BEAR Painting Key Ring

Never published until today, this painting entitled ""Valley of the Black Bear", by Skye Ryan-Evans was created to raise awareness about wildlife protection especially in areas where people still think hunting bears is an acceptable pasttime. Black Bears are much needed to balance the ecology and deserve to be treated with respect. The huge Bear who posed for this artwork was non-threatening and merely curious. After I took 20 photos of him, he simply walked away looking for long grass to eat. 25% of proceeds from the sale of any item in this collection, is donated to Defenders of Wildlife at: www.defenders.org.
