Artwork Description:
Polar bear cubs stay with their mothers for over two years. She feeds her cub, teaches it how to survive, and fiercely protects it from other bears. She must also be patient, for this highly intelligent bear cub loves to play and climb, and just like with its human counterpart their is no better climbing apparatus than its parent.
But there is a serious side to be a little northern backpack. The polar bear has thick insulating fur and buoyant fat layer that helps make it a strong swimmer in northern icy waters. The young cub has not yet developed these attributes, so when a polar bear swims it must carry its young cub on its back. How long that journey must be plays a part in the survival of the cub.
But for a moment this cub is safe, happily climbs on his mom s back, their moment in time full of the promise of hope the stunning light of the northern lights brings.
All my polar bear paintings are inspired by polar bears I have personally photographed or are of my imagination.
I use the finest Winsor Newton oil paints.
