December 19th Polar Bear Art Advent Calendar is "In The Pink"
Today's Advent Calendar features the polar bear portrait from my painting In the Pink. Well, Christmas is just a week away and once again family get-togethers here in Ontario, Canada, are being limited due to the spread of the Omicron virus. So we're not quite "in the pink" here, but like this intelligent bear we're cautiously moving ahead. Enjoy your December 18th, and stay safe!

Suspense Of Beauty for Dec. 8th Polar Bear Art Advent Calendar
Here's December 8th's polar bear art! A detail from "The Suspense of Beauty" .
In this original oil painting, a flash of the northern lights reveals a beautiful polar bear suspended beneath the surface of the sea. A buoyant animal, and strong swimmer, it is comfortable in this underwater space.
But the frozen sea is its true place, vital to travel, hunting, mating, denning. Due to our changing, warming climate, the decrease of sea ice formation and the increase between the time it melts and reforms, the fate of the polar bear species, as with this bear, is in suspense. The polar bear fur and face glows against the black, blues and blue-greens of the dramatic background.
30” x 30” x 1.5”. Wired, ready to hang. Certificate of Authenticity.

Today's Polar Bear Art Advent Calendar is a detail of the painting "Triplets", here. There was great excitement in the north this year because earlier in the year, a mother bear was spotted with triplets in tow. Triplets used to be a more common occurrence, but none had been spotted for a few years. In honour of triplet cubs, I created these three bears nestled around mama bear in their den. It is almost time for them to depart on their long and perilous journey to the ocean's edge. But for now they are are warm, protected, and thriving on their mother's milk. Mom is patiently a climbing apparatus (know that feeling?) and the siblings provide fun company.
But, as usual, the threat to polar bears from climate change, is always there in my artwork. There is a surprise to this painting. Learn the story behind this painting and the surprise here.
Available for sale. Do you know you can make me a reasonable offer on larger art work?

Why I Use Polar Bears on my Military Helmet Art
An Art Salute to Polar Bears, Service Men & Women
Salute. My polar bear art on my donation to TPL Foundation Annual Gala 2021
Salute
The artwork on the helmet Salute symbolizes the respect, loyalty and responsibility practised
in the military and also the same that is owed to it by the country it serves.
My art practice focuses on the theme of polar bears, their vulnerability from climate change and the Canadian connection to it. The “strong and free” polar bear shares many attributes with the military - bravery, strength, resilience, and tenacity.
In my series of paintings entitled Golder Bear , I often portray a polar bear face set against a metallic gold, halo-like sun. The sun’s rays reach out connecting the viewer to the bear, the sun and the challenge of our warming climate. Gold paint symbolizes the “wealth” and “value” of nature.
Salute is created in the Golden Bear style. But in this artwork the polar bear’s face is framed by a gold maple leaf. Instead of the sun’s rays to connect us, there is a motif of repeating maple leaves, that blends almost camouflage-like. This “Canadian” pattern connects to the back of the helmet, where the golden silhouette of a soldier, looks ahead in salute, to a setting sun skyline of gold maple leafs. The soldier, the country and the polar bear, all to be valued and protected.
