"A Different Beauty"

The wilderness is unkind, unforgiving, sometimes demoralizing, but yet can find a way to reach so far into your heart and soul that you become addicted to the relationship you build with it. Many warn to not venture into these wild places alone, but I cannot help it. The mountains, the forests, or wherever it may be is where I find my true self and my understanding for what's most important.

Most times when I leave the gravel or the trailhead to venture out alone I get a pit in the bottom of my stomach. I don't know whether that's the fear of the unknown or from the excitement of what's to come, I just crave the outcome and nothing can keep me from finding out what that will be.

I would say that the emotions and thoughts I have when I'm far back in the wilderness or venturing into it come from past experiences. The moment I take that first step off-trail is when life seemingly becomes more real and suddenly I realize how small we really are. It's hard not to think about difficult moments of my past rather than the good ones. Maybe it's natural instinct kicking in to remind me to move forward with caution, but those moments I've had around fear always seem to come back to me.

When it comes to the other animals that roam the landscape, there's not many other than the grizzly bear that I'm concerned about. I've only had one incident with a bear behaving predatorial, thankfully for my case it was a black bear and I was able to diffuse the situation. However for that one brief moment as we peered into each others eyes from several feet apart, I saw life for the first time in a completely different light.

Despite all of my inner thoughts I always find myself pushing on. Perhaps the addicting appeal of the wilderness is the fact that hardship and hard work never goes unrewarded. Mother Nature will always provide for those with the desire to learn and discover. 

This painting captures what I fear and at the same time what I love so dearly. Our connection with the wild is no different than with any animal that roams it; I feel it every time when I'm out. The enriching experience that the wilderness and all its beauty provides never comes without some costs. Time spent in these magnificent areas can be life changing however, and without this struggle perhaps there wouldn't be so much beauty to be discovered.

A Canvas and A Print

I couldn’t decide between a canvas or flat print version of the bear by the river art work. I purchased both and they arrived in excellent condition! These are truly beautiful! They catch the light and seem to glow! The most high quality print I have seen. Every detail is clear. I would recommend this purchase to anyone!

Beauty on a grand scale.

In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful paintings that Chuck Black has produced. It reminds me of the riverbanks in Alaska, and suddenly a Grizzly emerges from the brush a distance away. It is a spectacular painting and brings back fond memories of my trips to Alaska.

How do I know that I'll like my painting once it arrives without seeing it in person prior to purchasing?

I strive to take the highest quality photos of my artwork to display on the product pages. Most images of the art itself are professional imaged and color corrected to the original artwork by professionals. I photograph my framed art and wall photos with a DSLR camera and professional quality lighting. If for some reason you are unhappy with the painting once you receive it then you may return it to the address provided and I will refund your money granted the art is returned in good condition. Insurance is the responsibility of the customer for return postage.

Can I return my purchase if I'm not happy?

Yes, you may return your purchase if you are unhappy with it. If the item is returned in good condition you will receive a refund of the purchase price. Shipping costs are not refunded and insurance on return postage is your responsibility. Please contact me before returning your item, thank you!

How do I know what I'm getting is a quality product?

My original art is produced with nothing by the highest quality artist grade and archival grade materials. From the paints, to the additives, to the canvas, to the boards, to the frames, to the matting and to any other aspect of the process, I use the best possible products and materials available. I personally guarantee that your original painting will last many many many years to come. If you have specific questions then ask away! I'll be happy to answer.

My limited edition prints are personally printed and proofed for quality by myself, Chuck Black.
