Spring Thaw

Featured Painting:

Spring Thaw


Acrylic Painting on extra fine 4"x 6" linen canvas panel--$99


I love linen! I would only use linen if I could afford it (starving artist and all!) I can get so much more detail with linen canvas. I love the fur on this piece and hope to do many more with this detail. This is one of my "painting in a day" pieces which was fun. He looks a little grumpy but ready to go forth and "forage"! Did you know polar bears actually have black skin and clear hairs? To absorb as much warmth as needed.

I did this polar bear in honor of my father, whom I found out not long ago favors bears and polar bears most of all. I have another to do, hopefully next weekend. We'll see what this week brings!
