ON THIN ICE - Polar Bear
In this painting I wanted to show viewers a sign of the times, a thinner than normal male polar bear traveling in search of food.
Polar bears need ice to hunt seals and with the longer wait times for ice to form because of the warmer Arctic climate due to global warming, many polar bears are going without food for longer and longer times.
This is of great concern as we may loose this majestic, powerful symbol of the north forever.
