I have long known that one of my Power Animals is that of the Bear.
Bears to me a special and it breaks my heart to see them hunted..
Below are two Bears I drew in Pastels, Both were given as presents to those I love as Birthdays Presents.
For those who are interested in Animal Totems, here are a few things about The Bear that you may like to know. Some of their Traits are…
Be Strong!
Trust your creative Expression
Look Inward to your Soul’s Den to find answers.
Qualities of the Bear Totem. can be found here and here.
Did you know that the Polar Bear’s hairs are hollow transparent tubes? and that is why the bears are white. Each hair acts like a solar heater, transmitting the weak sunlight directly to the skin. Polar Bears are increasingly becoming under threat.. especially as global warming is melting the ice-caps To find out more click onto WWF Polar Bears
I hope you enjoyed viewing the Bears as much as I did creating them.
And to finish here are a wonderful couple of Quotes
~~~~
"When all the dangerous cliffs are fenced off, all the trees that might fall on people are cut down, all of the insects that bite have been poisoned … and all of the grizzlies are dead because they are occasionally dangerous, the wilderness will not be made safe. Rather, the safety will have destroyed the wilderness."
– R. Yorke Edwards (Canadian environmentalist)
~~~~
"The fate of bears in many areas of the world will be decided in the next 10-20 years. The future of several species is in serious doubt. The elimination of bears from 50-75% of their historic range has already occurred and the remaining range will decrease unless serious efforts are focused on bear conservation."
– Dr. Chris Servheen, biologist (1990 Report on the Status of Bears)

Great art work DW!!! You could create a second income doing art 🙂 I was stunned that the first animal to show itself at my new house was bear…I didn’t get to see it though, just the builder here working. I have a wooden hand carved bear that was my grandmothers that I used to play with as a child and broke the ear off of. Over all my years and travels for some reason that bear came along. I put him on my window sill over my bed when I moved in. Not sure why. then who should show up but the bear! Messages for sure and to be honest they scare the hell out me. I would die if I came face to face with one. I need to go reread bear medicine again.

Arrgh Cha, here’s you calling ” ME” Talented, and the wonderful Art work you produced!… Your own Art is brilliant, I doubt I could do justice to portrait paintings such as to the likenesses you produce in your paintings Cha…
Bears are cute and yes ALL animals can Bite, even a Kitten.. There is a lot of misconception as to the Bears behaviours, and they are more scared and shy of Man,.. and if left alone for most part will not attack a human,,
Unfortunately though its the Humans who encroach upon their habitat and drive them to search for food near homesteads, as more and more land they once roamed in disappears.. And as to the poor Polar Bear, His icecaps are in serious danger of disappearing all together..
We Humans have much to answer for to re-address the imbalance we have brought about in the land of Mother Nature…

R. Yorke’s words are excellent. So true. I remember killing a spider once, because I FEARED it would crawl on me in the night. I sprayed it with insect spray as that was all I had. But that did nothing, so I held the spray down, blasting it, and feeling so so sick as it slowly loosened its grip on the wall. When it fell I jumped back and I looked in horror as the poor spider was wet all over from the spray, hardly able to lift its legs. I was SO SO SICKENED, what I had done. I thought ‘How can I kill it quickly? How can I kill it quickly?’ and then raced to the cupboard, pulled out the vacuum, plugged it in, sucked it up. And then I sat on the step in my (bedsitter, at that time, pre Daniel) and just felt sick, sick, sick. Now, if that isn’t instincts, I don’t know what is. I wish to tell that spider, I am sorry.

You are not on your own there Noeleen with the guilt trip of killing insects.. Fortunately I am now over my Spider phobia, and can catch them under a glass and take them outside.. But a story to share with you, when I was 7 I lay in bed very ill from Glandular Fever.. While getting better I spied a small spider in the corner of my room, ( I usually had to share my room with 3 other sisters, but because of my illness I had my brothers small room.. I called the spider ‘Fred.’. And I had one of those small child piano accordions ( Squeeze-Box ) which I had been playing.. So set about over a couple of hours singing to this new friend I had made as I remember my days were long and lonely up in that room.. I sang my little heart out.. And then had the fright of my life.. as Fred decided to pay the musician a visit down a long spiders thread he hovered above me.. So scared was I, I screamed and jumped at the same time, and in the process Fred got squished in the squeeze box.. I too often sent that Spider my sincere thoughts of how sorry I was.. Thank you for sharing that story, and the thing is we have learnt from that experience.. 🙂 .. Hugs Sue x

Beautiful Drawings Dreamwalker!
I dreamed of a bear once. We were lying in a grassy field together, but I think I told you about that dream. The Bear didn’t talk, but listened to me. Bears are awesome. My son and I have seen many while we were camping in the mountains, and once was close to two in Colorado. They were so pretty.
Some people hunt them for the bladder. My brother is a wildlife officer, and has arrested poachers for this reason. He says people from China will pay a lot of money for the bladders as they are used in medicine. Fortunately, I haven’t heard any of these stories lately. I hope that means people have stopped, or at least, not doing it as much.
We have many bears in our state, mostly in the mountains, and like the deer where I live now, they are threatened by commercial development. I’d like to see a world where we truly cared for every creature in our Eco-system. (Ticks I’m not sure about, lol. I don’t know what they are good for, but they probably have a purpose).
I hope you are doing well. We are having a nice rain storm here. It’s been hot and dry, but finally it is thundering and raining.
Big Hugs and Love,
Michelle ooxxoo

Hi Michelle, Sorry Ive not been around much lately, I haven’t spent much time on the PC. too many other things going on..:-)
I cant remember that Dream.. But Bears are very protective. And if it asked you to talk, then I have no doubts there are many things you still keep hidden and close to your chest..
Yes it saddens me greatly to see how any animal is hunted down.. and while I respect the beliefs of some, we should also respect the rights of our Animal Kingdom.. I saw quiet a few and was told how lucky I was to have seen them, the Black Bear in Canada in the year 2000, as they came at the end May Beginning of June, to the road side to eat the Dandelions which I was told they loved as they woke up from their slumber..
Glad you have some much needed rain, We have had nothing but.. But today has been more like a summers day.. and we have a promise of 3 days of sunny shine.. Yippeee!.. after nearly two months of rain EVERY Day.. its most welcome..

Yes I have been at work today, but walked down to the Allotment to see the damage.. .. Weeds Weeds weeds.. have sprung everywhere when you turn your back.. The Rain has played havoc with the soft fruits, rotting them.
All that rain we had day in day out meant We didnt get to weed.. and they have thrived.. Why is it weeds also do so well and crops get ruined?? 🙂
I have a couple of days off of work now as I worked the weekend, so Im going to try and get stuck in…
And yes the Weather today BRILLIANT! we had HOT Sun.. ALL Day hahaha…
The Sun is just going down, and we came in.. But more sun promised tomorrow..
Hugs to you ~Sue xx

Oh I intend to soak up some Sun, make hay while the sun-shines so to speak.. Although I love rain… and we all need rain water.. Just not all at once and for around 6 weeks day after day.. So the Sun has come just in time for the Childrens holidays. But its only forecast to last a few days so Yes Making the most of it.. 🙂 ~Sue xx

I have never heard of that before – make hay while the sun shines lol…
Well Sue to tell you the truth..I like the rain too but like you said not all at once 🙂
And I am very pale skin…so I burn if I am out too long in the sun, but I do wear sunglasses and a hat and loads of sunscreen lol..
Your timing is perfect then to be free….sun shining 🙂
Have fun hun, love Traceyxx

Such wonderful drawings and so life-like. I have tried to work with pastels, but when I am creating, my hands and arms are all over the place and the pastels tend to smear when I don’t want them to. Acrylic dries fast and mistakes can be painted over. I suppose I have chosen a safer medium for my art. You have done beautiful work here.
