This scene shows an autumn picnic with a bear sitting under a tree, enjoying a Jamaican patty. He wears a lumberjack flannel shirt. Colourful fall leaves and acorns are scattered on the grass. Nearby, a green-and-orange thermos and a brown paper lunch bag are present, while a chickadee perched on the thermos sings happily.

I participated in They Draw’s flavour-themed drawing challenge, creating monthly scenes of northern wildlife and vegan food for Instagram. Each month has a loose flavour theme (savoury, zesty, creamy), but there’s no strict interpretation. It’s all about allowing taste to inspire creativity.
