The story behind the artwork
Original Grizzly Bear and Sockeye Salmon Wildlife Painting β OH SH*T
OH SH*T is an original 30 Γ 40 inch oil on canvas painting by Canadian artist Graham Watts, capturing the split-second encounter between a grizzly bear and a sockeye salmon beneath the surface of a river.
The bear pushes through the water in pursuit while the vivid red salmon cuts across the cooler blues of the scene. Rising bubbles, moving water, textured stones and filtered light create a strong sense of depth and motion.
The painting focuses on the tension between predator and prey while celebrating two animals closely associated with the rivers and wilderness of western Canada.
Created for collectors drawn to grizzly bear art, salmon paintings and Canadian wildlife artwork, OH SH*T combines realism, movement and a touch of humour in a distinctive wildlife scene.
