36 “X 36” Oil over mixed media

Inspired by the legendary Bear 122—affectionately known as “The Boss”—this painting captures the raw power and quiet majesty of one of Banff National Park’s most formidable grizzly bears. Known for his massive size and remarkable resilience, The Boss is more than a bear; he is a living symbol of survival and dominance in the wild. Through bold brushwork and natural tones, this piece pays tribute to his enduring legacy and the untamed spirit of the Canadian wilderness.
