ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This polar bear oil painting is titled "Mauja". "Mauja" is a 6" x 12" portrait of a polar bear taking it easy in the mauja, Inuktitut for soft snow. Inuktitut is the language of the Inuit from Nunavut, an arctic territory in Canada. The painting is just one the polar bear oil paintings available in my series "A Celebration of Polar Bears", my way of creatively celebrating a celebration of bears (what a group of bears is known as). The painting carries around the edge of the canvas. It is wired and ready for hanging.
