The patient Bear

I made this paint one years ago (WIldlife Artist meeting in Argentario) gouache on paper Fabriano, I like the strange idea that the picture viewer could identify oneself with a...honeycomb hung on a tree, for example or (an absurd and imaginative hypotesis) imagining himself to be perched on abranch with feet ... a patient bear! I'm joking naturally!

This is the cousin to the GIANT PANDA, big and black and white. The Red Panda is always confused with the Fox or Raccoon family but it's not either. He travels the same bamboo forest as his cousin. You'll find him in the Himalayas and two provinces in China. The zoo is where I find them since I don't go to the Himalayas on a frequent basis. Hopefully this quick ink pen and watercolor sketch will deliver a nice painting some day. Enjoy...Addios
