Fantasy, or reality?

One exit out of Great Smoky Mountain National Park on the North Carolina side takes you into the Native American community of Cherokee. In and around the business district resides the bear project. Native American artists have painted a series of bears and placed them all around town. While some may view the scenes as fantasy, each tells a unique story. Three of my favorites appear below, with the last, the eagle, topping my list. Which do you like best?

  4. Beautiful and original art. The eagle is definitely beautiful but I think I prefer the 2nd one. However, I may be biased as blue is my favourite colour.

  8. My favorite is the top one - I love the subtlety of color and the intricacy of design. This is a very neat project too.

  9. I like the eagle bear combo but then that would be a "beagle" hmmmm just doesnt look quite like a beagle, LOL. I love those, where I live they have done, bulls, horses, fish and cats and dogs.
