“We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”

Digital painting | Photoshop + Wacom Cintiq
Gifted for a 70th birthday

To celebrate my mother-in-law Manya’s 70th, I created this digital painting featuring the five little people she loves most—her grandkids—on a whimsical adventure, inspired by the classic children’s book We're Going on a Bear Hunt.

Marching through the “swishy swashy grass,” each child is depicted with love and personality, united on their journey together. It was such a joy to bring them all to life on the screen—digitally dusting off my Wacom Cintiq and diving back into Photoshop for this special piece.

Here’s to the magic of childhood, family, and turning 70 surrounded by love.
