"Salmon Run" shows powerful grizzly bear on the rocky riverbank, its massive frame dominating the scene as it claims a freshly caught salmon. Sunlight glistens on the bear's fur highlighting shades of rich brown and gold. The salmon's silver scales flash brightly against the muted grays and rust tones of the weathered river rocks.

Behind this dramatic moment, a glacial river flows in vibrant turquoise tones, its rushing waters contrasting with the stillness of the bear's triumph. This painting captures more than a hunt, it tells a story of nature's perfect balance, where predator and prey each play their vital role in the wilderness symphony.
