It was during my trip back home to Jersey when my older brother and I decided to go fishing at the pond that we encountered a big mama bear with her three cubs. Apparently, someone had thrown some left over bagels in the area, even sticking some up high in the trees and this family enjoyed eating them all up. It was fun watching them and taking pictures from the safety of the car. My brother and I decided to go try our luck fishing at the river instead the pond.
The fire department at my home town still sounds out the 5 o'clock whistle each night. As a kid, when I heard that sound I knew it was time to head on home. It's comforting to know that some things don't change. I knew drawing the building was going to be challenging due to the different shapes and angles so this was a practice session for me because I'm planning on doing a series of watercolors of my home town.
Lovely drawings, I think you were very brave even sitting in your car when those bears were about!
