Description
Colours are dark blue, green, brown, grey, black, red, and white. The right half of the painting is dominated by a large grizzly bear with head down and turning to the right; the left side is dominated by two white and grey Bighorn sheep skulls with horns and two white and grey elk skulls with antlers. There are two red lines in pyramid shapes that go behind the the skulls, but over the bear. Behind this is a green valley that extends on both sides up the sides of a grey, green and white mountain. The upper background is the dark blue sky and the bottom part of the painting is dark blue with two green bear paw prints in front of the grizzly bear.
