I enjoyed doing the old Hippie Dude painting so much last year that I wanted to do another one with the old VW bus in it.  We happen to own a beautiful bronze sculpture of a grizzly bear sitting on his rump just looking around, very majestic-like.  Dusti was cleaningone day and draped some Christmas tinsel over his head, and majestic went to silly in a heartbeat. He was the perfect inspiration for this painting.
