18"x24" oil pastel on Strathmore Charcoal textured surface paper. The grizzly bear takes its name from the long, silver-tipped hairs on its back and shoulders, which give its coat a grizzled look. He can smell carrion as far as 18 miles away.The early settlers nicknamed him " old satan." The grizzly can weigh up to 650 lbs,and is the fiercest and most aggressive of all bears. It leads an almost solitary existence in wild mountains and thick forest
