The public outreach side of the park makes sure to let everyone know that the bears of Yellowstone love huckleberries and can sometimes be seen wearing the purple stain of the berries. This piece is inspired by all that purple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eMy \u003cem\u003eRain Paintings\u003c\/em\u003e are a series I started in 2025. I started out with a single massive piece of watercolor, took it out into a rainstorm, and proceeded to use watercolors, non-toxic fabric paints, and the like, to create these works. After two separate rainstorm sessions, I cut the dried paper down to 8x10 and 5x7 inch rectangles and continued to paint and draw on them with all manner of materials in my studio.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlease keep fine art and prints out of direct sunlight and UV light.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe watermark is not present on the painting.
