Mason's theme is "life in the land". He said, "Throughout my life I have enjoyed, beyond words, experiences in the land. The revelation of life that God shows me in the forests is meant to be shared. I am not a writer, a poet or a singer, so I paint." One of Turning Bears favorite quotes is by H.R. Rookmaaker in Modern Art and the Death of a Culture. "Art never copies nature, but always portrays reality in a human way. This type of painting does not copy nature as a camera would, but depicts a human experience, a human understanding, an insight and emotion into what the truth about reality is." Turning Bear says, "God has given me a hunger to know Him through His truth, that is through His Word and His creation. As He reveals that truth to me, I become more effective in my painting and in giving the glory to Him as the Master Artist and Creator." Mason has said he would explode if he didn't share at least some of the experiences he has had in the land, as God has given him this talent to share God's glory with others. Mason was born in Anchorage, Alaska (1954) and traveled extensively until 1988 when he and his wife, White Feather Song, took up residence in a log cabin on Baldy Mountain north of Plains, Montana. He also has a studio next to the Tucson Mountain range in Arizona. Turning Bear was given his first set of oil paints and started painting when he was nine years old. Turning Bear Mason's paintings are currently displayed in 18 states and Canada. He also scrimshaws wildlife on knife handles and jewelry. His scrimshaw artistry has been published in several knife magazines. He has been working extensively for Dude/Guest Ranches, Resorts, and National Parks since 1995, i.e. painting oils on commission of the landscapes and then having limited edition prints made of them. "For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made so that men are without excuse." - Romans 1:20 TURNING BEAR FINE ART COMMISSION WORK T�Turning Bear will do a commissioned oil painting for you of the view of your choice.
