Bear Trees
Inner Voices: The Art of Peter R. Gerbert
Cloudeight Stationery
"Tothese very young Black Bear Cubs, the World is one big adventure; the forest is a hugeplayground. As they peer out with innocent eyes, their little minds take in all this newinformation. Torrents of brand new sensations. They hear the wind blow through the treetops. They feel the roughness of the tree bark around them. They hear the birds that singmerrily in the nearby brush. Only one thing here is slightly incorrect; the protectiveMother Bear meandering about behind them is slightly transparent. Does She exist here onlyin the imaginations of her cubs?
The actual Cubs I studied for this painting were orphaned and taken care of at the BigBend Wildlife Sanctuary in North Florida. With a tremendous amount of care at thesanctuary, the Cubs were raised healthy and eventually released into the Ocala NationalForest, were they now roam freely."
