A photo
of Yosemite Valley, one of my "Cowboy" paintings, and a
stoneware cup.
Welcome! I
am "Bear's Clover" and I am an artist, potter, and Yosemite
National Park fanatic. I was so glad that GeoCities has a "Yosemite"
neighborhood, because it is definitely where I belong! My "real"
name is J.R. Dunster, and I am a native Californian, who has had a
lifelong love affair with Yosemite. (I recently moved to the out-of-state,
but I still make the commute to Yosemite regularly!)
I have put
several sections to this web page. It started out as basically
a Yosemite Photo page, but I started adding and adding... I
now have a page for my (and my sister's) pottery, pages for my artwork,
even a page about film music. And more things just seem to
creep on here. So, hope you will browse around, and come back
soon, I am always tinkering!
Here is my
Main Menu:
Portrait
Art Page. I have always painted and drawn portraits.
I do a lot of media/TV/movie related portraits (perhaps because
I am from LA, this is an interest of mine.) Also, I have a
series of tongue-in-cheek "Cowboy" portraits, an homage
to those good-old-bad TV westerns I grew up with!
Yosemite
Page. Some of the many photos I have taken in this
beautiful place over the years.
Pottery
Page. Examples of my sister's and my pottery. I
create pots on my potter's wheel, and then decorate
them with colorful glazes. My sister makes ocarinas (clay
whistles) sculpted in the shape of whimsical animals.
Check out my film
music page. I focus on Oscar-winning composer Jerry Goldsmith,
and even include a few music clips!
Watercolor
Page. Some of the watercolors that I painted on location
in Yosemite.
