Kodiak Brown

Bears are completely fascinating, and sometimes terrifying, to most people, but this bear is clearly just pondering the day and making plans for the next meal. 

Ursus arctos middendorffi aka  the Kodiak brown bear, lives in the islands of the Kodiak Archipelago in SW Alaska.  It is one of the two largest bears in the world. 

This painting is based on a photograph by Debbie Lynne Lewis of Kodiak Island.
