“Blackbear,” 10” x 10” Digital Illustration (2020) by Claire Dronen •  From the artist: “From the depths of winter this bear was born. After a particularly cold week in January, my mind drifted to the memories of just how magical a springtime forest can be with all of its resurgence of beauty and life. It was my aim to paint these memories by surrounding a freshly awoken bear with red currants and cheery yellows.”
