Dating the canvas: what the handling in Glacier Bear tells us

The mountains in Glacier Bear are laid in thin and cool; the animal is built in heavy directional strokes that follow the muscle. That contrast is a habit, and habits move over a career.

If you own or have studied other Dennis Anderson oils, post your dates and describe the handling. We are trying to bracket this canvas more tightly than "circa 2024," and the only honest way to do it is by comparison.
