A few weeks ago, I posted an entry about an Alphonse Mucha book I found at the bookstore. I love his work and have since found a couple of other books on his art. One of his usual things to do was to paint female representations of things, such as the four seasons, gemstones, flowers, the times of the day, etc. In the responses, Ken (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
madknits) said he would like to see a bear version of the seasons.So I decided to draw the seasons with bear representations. Each one will have a sort of mythic theme to them. This is the first of the four with
madknits as the bear of winter.

I love the loops and designs of the Art Nouveau look. I tried to incorporate such things in this cartoon, but I lack the patience for it and took it out. I'm afraid it's only Mucha-esque in concept.
