Triplets is a beautiful, original oil painting with a climate change story to tell. 

It is my Featured Painting of The Month for March 2025 and will be offered at special value until the end of the month . For more info please click HERE.

In this painting, we catch a glimpse into the darkness and security of a polar bear den where a mother bear and her three cubs snuggle. It is rare three cubs are born, and when I was last in Churchill in 2Fall 023, all visitors were on excited lookout for the mama and three cubs spotted in the area.

March is the time of year, the polar bear mother and cubs leave the den for the first time, but in this painting, the bear family have not yet stepped out the into the cold. These little bears are still a little too small to do the arduous journey to the coast. So they happily play in their dark little home.

There is a hidden message in this painting. If hung vertically, the glowing light becomes water-like, symbolizing the bear's vulnerability to our warming planet and sea ice loss. One of the cubs is in the shadows, a sign of the foreboding that may lie in ahead.

Polar Bear Cubs- How to See the Picture

Triplets

This stylized oil painting has a climate change story to tell, and can be hung vertically or horizontally to do so. 

Hung horizontally: In my latest oil painting, Triplets, three polar bear cubs affectionately play with their mother, secure and warm in their den. It is rare that 3 cubs are born and so this is one lucky polar bear mother.

One of the cubs is in the shadows. It could be a sign of foreboding, but is more a comment of how the healthier a bear is the more likely multiple births succeed. (Recently, a Polar Bears International post mentioned a bear with three cubs was observed for the first time in five years.)

Hung vertically: The bear family’s survival is dependant on sea ice. Too early a breakup of the ice in the spring, and a delay in its formation in the fall, leaves the polar bear and cubs vulnerable to starvation, drowning and threat from male bears.
