(Free shipping to Canada) This beautiful big polar bear, apex predator of the north, has just changed direction and is heading your way. Oh, oh. The rich monochromatic blues add a touch of drama to the mood, as well as symbolize nature, intelligence, spirit and royalty. Blue is one of the most popular colours in the world, and is perfect to represent the highly intelligent polar bear, one of our planet's most popular animals. Oil painting on wood panel. The sides of the panel are painted black. The back is wired and ready for hanging. Certificate of Authenticity. 12” x 6” x 1.5” wood panel
Please note: This painting must ship in a custom crate to protect the frame and so takes longer than normal to be shipped. This painting is framed. A beautiful, healthy and highly intelligent looking bear pauses in the arctic night. The light reflects brightly in its eye. Its reflection in the melted snow symbolizes the fate that awaits this bear from a warming planet. As if looking through a scope, a polar bear is spotted paused in the dark of the arctic night. I think it senses spring is coming, evident by the melted snow at its feet. This artwork is an oil painting on canvas. The canvas is round with a 36”diameter. It comes framed in a black frame.
As I walk around the city of Victoria, my home, I am struck by the massive changes as the race to house the population speeds up. There is a certain beauty in this industriousness. I feel the energy in the vehicles and have tried to capture a sense of this in my work
I don't fully understand why the movement of the tides affects me so deeply. And the tides have been so low of late. This tide is on its way out and provides a view to the sea's floor. perhaps the unveiling of this inner is why I am so touched. This painting was done 'en plein air' on a perfect weather day.
This painting is something that I received in my imagination and searched out reference photos to put it all together. The ravens evoke feelings of cleverness, mischief, ancient power, movement and slyness in me. The cliffs give me a feeling of massiveness, hardness and immovability and also fear (I have height phobia). Its interesting to me, on reflection, that I have created something with such harsh feelings when I am attempting to move outside my comfort zone.
In spite of unseasonable cold, the daffodils have made their appearance everywhere. Beacon Hill Park is in the middle of Victoria and there are cultured areas and natural areas. To drive along our Dallas Road with the ocean on one side, and the hill of daffodils on the other , is a treat. The sun made a break though, just warm enough and long enough to do this painting.
