Polar Bears

The original oil painting of this print was completed in 2009 and presented to the Marie Curie charity for a successful auction at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 2016. it is now in private hands.

There are five polar bears depicted in a semi abstract mode and setting where the younger one sits on top of an ice peak and looks anxiously down to its mother with it’s baby curled up at the bottom. Two other adult bears look on in curiosity one of which is the father and he is clearly providing some form of encouragement to the stranded bear.
