 Waiting for Lunch!  Artist Proof #1
"Waiting for Lunch!" Artist Proof #1

In the back of every north country hunter's mind is the fear of an unforeseen encounter with the unpredictable King OF THE WILDERNESS. The artist was being packed by horseback into a B.C. sheep camp in 2012 when their group was following a narrow creek bordered by very high willows. Following his guide, Dan, and several horses, Justin was enjoying the ride with a pleasant breeze blowing in my face, and the soothing sounds of the water bubbling over the rocks in the creek. Suddenly, without warning all the horses came stampeding back down the narrow trail. The assistant guide and the wrangler managed to stop the stampede. With the wind in our faces and the sounds of the creek, they had stumbled into a nightmare situation. Justin waited anxiously for Dan. Minutes seemed like hours. It was a full 15 minutes before Dan came out of the bush. He had ridden into within 15 yards of a very annoyed and angry grizzly, which had killed and buried an elk in the creek! The bear was guarding his kill and, yes, he was just " WAITING FOR LUNCH".

"WAITING FOR LUNCH!" is an original bronze sculpture fully donated to GOABC. It is 24"x18"x20” and weighs 50 lbs. and is ARTIST'S PROOF #1. It is Justin’s sincerest hope that this donation assists GOABC in its great conservation work!
