Here is a little something to commemorate the Quebec trip. Back in the Saint Jude's auction, I on a Brian Aliff feather painting, to be completed and with a subject of my choice. I cannot say enough about how beautiful Brian's work is. These are real turkey feathers that Brian paints on and I can't begin to imagine the effort and care he puts into his work.
Well, upon returning from Quebec, Brian and I spoke. We decided that a feather painting involving a bear would be a fantastic way to commemorate Bear Quest II. I gave Brian a link to my photo album and basically left the rest up to him. Surprise me he did and at the ATAR last weekend, I got to meet Brian and I received my feather painting. Brain did one heck of a job!! I believe everyone on this hunt will recognize the back ground here. Great work Brian! This painting definitely brings back memories every time I look at it. I just hope this photo does the painting a little justice.

Is this awesome or what! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I find out I won the raffle to have Brian paint another one of these beautiful feathers for me.
