Please note: Each of these paintings are available separately, but the series is being offered at special value! The sweetness of babies is universal. This series of three oil paintings on individual wood panels is of a dear little polar bear cub with a baby's breath (gypsophila) flower crown on its head. I painted Baby's Breath (Gypsophyla) in these baby bears flower crowns as this flower is symbolic of everlasting love and innocence. "Baby's Breath" is named so because of its delicacy. What better symbol for the polar bear cub. The flower crown itself is a symbol of nature, tribute and celebration. It reminds us that our lives - nature and humanity, are as intwined as the flowers in the crown. Purple is a symbol of royalty and for me, mauve becomes "baby" royalty. Mauve is a symbol of sentimentality and romance. My polar bear paintings are all inspired by the photographs I have personally taken of polar bears. The sides of the panel are painted black. The back is wired and ready for hanging. Each painting is signed, has a unique work completion number and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
