Polar Bear Paintings.

Original Polar Bear Paintings in Pastel and Oil. Fine art prints available.

I have always had a fascination for Polar Bears and in 2005 I decided to visit them in their natural habitat. It was an absolutely amazing experience. I spent 12 days out on the ice in temperatures of -30 degrees and with a ferocious wind chill. As I experienced those temperatures I could hardly believe that anything could live in such a place and yet, before my eyes the great white bears were playing happily and swimming from Ice Berg to Ice berg. I observed them at very close range, close enough even, to reach out and touch them over the side of my Tundra Buggy if I had been foolish enough to try.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The bears were curious and seemed as interested in me as I was in them, which made for some great photographic opportunities. It was a really fabulous experience and I even got to experience the arctic aurora. I was awoken at 3am in the morning to climb out the back of the Buggy, where from the open-air viewing platform I could see the aroura overhead and polar bears circling the buggy a few feet below me. I must paint that someday......

WALKING ON THIN ICE
Pastel on pastelmat, 24 inches across.

I consider myself very lucky to have actually spent time in the frozen north of Canada observing polar bears in their natural habitat. I saw this magnificent bear one morning in Wapusk, Canada. It was -30 degrees and he was swimming from berg to berg as though it was a heated swimming pool. It was so cold that to remove my hand from my glove long enough to take a photograph was an intensely painful affair, and yet there he was, perfectly adapted and happy. I was filled with admiration for this incredible animal. The original painting was on display at the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art.
