Popping on here with this doxazine purple beauty to let you know that Wild Whimsy of the Northwoods is on display at Hutchinson Center for the Arts until this Friday and to celebrate I am sharing one more of the newest pieces in the living body of work that you’ll see when you stop by. I was chatting about bears the other day (I mean, honestly, when am I not talking about bears, but I digress) and it got me thinking about this sweet fella surrounded by all the Question Marks, flowers, and the lovely, curling, permeating scents of spring🐻🦋🌫💙 If you like the deep purples shing through your screen on this piece just imagine how popping they are when you are standing in front of it at the gallery🤩 Here is statement that goes with the piece:
4:30 pm • Another bear! This sweet lil dude has so many questions like, ”when will the blueberries be ready?” or “why does bird seed smell so good?”
The Black Bear wanders the forest looking for answers and looking for food, making a racket as it goes. The Question Mark Butterflies surround the bear and the sugary flowers offering up more queries than explanations.
Featured flora and fauna • Black Bear, Question Mark Butterfly, Columbine, Daisy, Hawkweed
Wild Whimsy of the Northwoods tour around the state of Minnesota is made possible, in part, by a Region 2 Arts Council Individual Artist Grant Award with funding from the McKnight Foundation. See less
