The Pink Bear

Les Thomas, an artist based in Calgary, is likely one of my all time favorites.  We have several of his paintings and we view them every year when we visit Banff, Alberta.  This painting is lovely.  I wish I had a room to decorate with this painting.  It would be so much fun to start with a blank room and use this painting, which is 4 foot square. The photos don't do this justice.  The pink is a shocking pink and the gold is vibrant and changes with the light.

Here are few other paintings by the same artist.  You can see all of his work at Canada House Gallery in Banff.
