Through this engrossing original hand-made painting on canvas, Euan Roberts captures a bear in a remarkably minimalistic style. It has a solid and soothing blue background encompassing the composition.

The bear is transformed into basic geometric shapes and fragmented forms, effectively isolating the bear's identifiable elements; a rounded face with a red fez hat, one paw holding a vibrant, colorful drink, and two bear paw prints hovering in the air, evoking the notion that a bear may or may not have travel, or even playfully disassembled, any distance to reach the relaxation scene imagined by the artist.

The artist boldly introduces a bright red fez, intentionally contrasting the subdued, clean palette. It instantly draws your eye to the head of the bear. 

The hat adds a clever whimsy, perhaps implying a narrative felt beyond the visual, that the bear here before you may just be a humorously whimsical or sophisticated creature at rest.

The boldness of the color in the drink continues the storytelling nature of the bear taking a rest in a potentially imaginative scene, again echoing humour, leisure, and even escapism permitting the views gaze to rest on flavor to further explore the internal stories of this individual and it's bear stories. The artist's eye is seen in the overall composition and movement and adept use of negative space makes this painting a contemporary visual poem. 

The striking solid blue draws our visual focus and invites a mood of contemplation as we feel the lively nature of a bear resting with the bold and simplified image revealing the purity and innocence of the bear form.

The signature etched into the bottom right, verifies the artist's stewardship of self-expression although at often times having an occupant, highly personalized space within the whimsical scene. Overall, this painting presents innovative minimalism with deep colorful engagement and subtley articulated story telling depth.
