Sitting Bear - Bigfork, Montana - Bear Statues on Waymarking.com

"Sitting Bear" is perched high on large stones, watchful of visitors and passersby. He is relaxed just sitting here, satisfied; as though that small rabbit scurried by one time too often.

There are several sculptures in this park, by talented artist Eric Thorsen. His primary works include both bronze and wood carvings. His galley is close by, and he welcomes visitors to his studio.

"In 2000, Eric was honored by receiving the Society of Animal Artists Award of Excellence. For four consecutive years, 2000 - 2003 Eric received the People's Choice Award for Best Sculpture at the C.M. Russell Art Auction! Most recently Eric has installed sculptures commissioned by the city of Norwalk, California, NIKE World Campus, Beaverton, Oregon and The Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Walkway in Helena, Montana."
