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.
