"Kodiak" is the seventh painting in my "Allure of Alaska" series. The mighty Kodiak Bears are commonly believed to be the largest bear species in the world; often standing 10 feet tall and weighing more than 1,500 lbs. They exclusively inhabit a cluster of islands (Kodiak), southwest of the main land mass of the state of Alaska. They have been isolated from other bears for about 12,000 years. Their large size can be attributed to the fact that they do not have any natural predators in the area and the vast food supply offered allows them to thrive. Due to the extreme cold weather where they live, hibernation is a necessary part of their survival skills. In my painting, this Kodiak is enjoying one of his favorite spots for just exploring, socializing with other bears or maybe looking for a bite to eat.

Art and the natural world have been the driving forces that have shaped Jerrys life and career. Self-taught, Jerry can not remember a time when he wasnt painting, studying art and the great artists, or developing an affinity and never-ending infatuation with the phenomenal beauty of Nature.Collectors of Jerry Sauls work appreciate the fine detail, perspective and imaginative use of light simulation with which he portrays an innate understanding of his chosen subjects. As I see it, the challenge to me as an artist, is not only to paint nature in all her glory and diversity, but also to capture the emotion a scene evokes and incorporate that emotion into the mixing of paint on my palette and into my brushstrokes as the paint is applied to the canvas. Detail, color and texture are as important to my work, as light and the elements are to nature.When planning a new work of art, I like to think about something I have experienced, and how the image can be influenced by natural elements like light and weather. Often, I will begin working with a particular image in my mind, and as I progress, wonderful things seem to happen, transforming my visual image as it is passed onto the canvas. As a result, the completed work is sometimes very different from my original vision.
