this momma bear and her cub are painted on 9x12 inch, acid free, premium watercolor paper. This watercolor painting would make an excellent decorative item. It is ready to frame. This is an original. Not a reproduction. No material was used as a refference for this. This is something I came up with out of my own imagination. This comes with its own certificate of authenticity, that will be signed and dated by me Janelle Dixon.
