When I began this painting I had imagined a simple setting on a mountain
with not too much going on. As the painting progressed, I began thinking
about roaming the fields as a small child and having "everything all around
me all at once", a total immersion into nature, having grasses, flowers,
and insects touching me. At first, this seemed overwhelming but I soon
realized I could look at the beauty of all this nature, up close. I observed
things in intense detail and understood the world differently from that
point in time. Many years later I became fascinated by the Romantic
movement in art from the early nineteenth century when artists began
using their imagination more, inspired by a new sensibility and
emotional response to the natural world around us. The title of this
painting is often attributed to a phrase from Emerson who suggested
that humans honor and reciprocate that which nature gives us. It was
then I decided to have the bear immersed in the fullness of
the natural landscape." —RB
