"Legacy of the Valley" is a 12"x16" original oil painting by Luke Smith. This vibrant oil painting captures a family of black bears wandering through a sunlit wildflower meadow in Yosemite National Park. Towering granite cliffs, including the iconic El Capitan, rise in the background while Bridalveil Fall cascades gracefully into the lush valley. Rich, textured brushstrokes bring depth to the bears’ glossy fur and the colorful blooms surrounding them.
