Last Bear Standing Painting
A new oil painting by nationally renowned artist, Troy Collins, depicting a Grizzly Bear in the Moose-Wilson Corridor habitat in the late fall in Grand Teton National Park has just been unveiled and is titled ‘Last Bear Standing’.
Mr. Collins draws inspiration from the regional landscapes of Montana and Wyoming and whose works blend expressionism and impressionism.
On October 22, Mr. Collins unveiled his new original oil painting at Mountain Trails Gallery in Jackson, WY. The painting is a visual manifestation of the beautiful and critical habitat that bears and other wildlife depend on in this section of Grand Teton National Park. The painting is titled, ‘Last Bear Standing’.
Artists have always played an important role in helping people experience the wonders of nature by providing images of America’s magnificent landscapes, many of which are protected as national parks. In 1872, Thomas Moran painted his majestic images of the Yellowstone area which helped spur Congress to create Yellowstone National Park.
The painting will eventually be auctioned with proceeds going to support the conservation work of the Friends of the Moose-Wilson Corridor. Art posters of the original painting signed by Troy Collins can be ordered through the Friends of the Moose-Wilson Corridor by writing us at: info@moosewilsonfriends.org
The painting will be on display at Mountain Trails Gallery in Jackson, WY, for a few months prior to the auction. Details of the auction will be announced once they are finalized. We encourage people to stop at Mountain Trails Gallery and see this magnificent painting in person.
Mr. Collins was the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival Featured Artist in 2022 with his painting, ‘The Grandest Journey’ and participates annually in the festival, including at the Quick Draw event.
Mr. Collins is represented by the Mountain Trails Gallery, in Jackson, WY, as well as in affiliated galleries of the same name in Bozeman, MT and Park City, UT.
