This wood panel oil painting (4" x 4" x 2") sketch of a polar bear cub is painting No. 11 of my "30 Polar Bears in 30 Days", an exercise to get me off and running, er, painting in 2016. Fresh off the easel, it is the first of 6 little portraits on panel. Polar near cubs have a defiite appeal, their appearance is a cross between sheep, a Westie terrier, and cuddly teddy bear. Any stance a cub takes on those sturdy little legs, is charming. But one must never forget these little rock stars of the bear world, grow up to be top of the Arctic predator chain. This polar bear artwork is on premium gessoed hardboard on wood and painted with professional Winsor & Newton oil paints. This painting can stand upright, free standing on a shelf, or table top, but is also ready for hanging.
