This print is beautiful. It's a commonly depicted subject, but it is very special. The composition, tonal quality, and movement are exceptional and evocative. The piece is true to it's title... breathtaking!

I have wanted this for my pro life bulletin board at my Catholic Church and I wasn’t disappointed. It is beautiful and it has so much meaning put in a picture. A picture speaks better then words and this picture says it all. Thanks
Artist's Description
Well, Spike is back in the saddle in his search for a happy home. Sadly, he was unable to fly to the magpies' nest, so he continues his sojourn and now finds himself in the forest. Perhaps Mama bear will offer him residence in the home she shares with her little cub.
Here is a description of the book, and a link to where you can get a copy:
https://www.createspace.com/3968363
Meet Spike the Dhog, an endearing creature (part pig, hedgehog and dog), who arrives on earth from points unknown. Go with this �different� fellow as he searches for a welcoming home among birds, fish, bears, turtles, prairie dogs, barn cats and pigs. Follow him as he goes cheerfully through the countryside on his quest to find a home where he will be accepted for who he is. Bright imaginative illustrations by watercolor artist Anne Gifford, with story by Priscilla Gifford.

The bear looks like he is saying, " You have got to be kidding! " I did not know that you are a author of a book and children's books are the most difficult. The images are charming! I do a little writing in the form of a blog. Go take a look when you have time: www.zentcreativeblog.com
