Bears star in Don Woodard’s newest 3-D work
Don Woodard recently finished a new piece titled Clam Digging, which shows bears in Alaska. The work is three-dimensional and carved in wood. “We were about 100 yards away from the bears when one of the them became curious and walked towards us, much as our guide said they might do,” the artist shares. “The bear came about 30 feet away from us, looked at us for a little while, determined that we were not a threat as we were kneeling down (as instructed by our guide) then went about his business of digging for clams.”
