Big Growler

Oil and acrylic on canvas.

24x24x1.50"

Big Growler rounds out Rick Bremness’s striking trilogy of wilderness bear portraits with an imposing, head-on presence. Framed against a deep, vibrant blue backdrop, the piece employs Bremness’s signature impasto technique, weaving thick strokes of royal purple, electric turquoise, and warm copper across the bear's broad coat. With a direct, unyielding gaze and powerful proportions, Big Growler captures the raw weight, silent authority, and magnificent spirit of the high-country grizzly.
