the bear is the forest

Description

Part of my Kalevala series.

I got the idea for this illustration from the old stories about the bear in Finnish folklore.
In the olden days the bear was the most sacred animal and some even believed that when the bear moved the forest moved with it.
Fascinating stuff.
