ABOUT THE ARTWORK
-NEW PRICE- As with most of my recent work, the magnificent polar bear is my inspiration for this acrylic palette knife painting. My art always combines portraiture of the polar bear, with commentary about the threat posed to polar bears from climate change and sea ice loss. The polar bear is highly intelligent, as is top arctic predator. But it is playful, too, and can be quite endearing (if the viewer is at a safe distance) with its, at times, goofy expression. I have started a new series of smaller paintings, done with acrylic paint and palette knife. The fun of playing with the paint (in contrast to my larger more detailed and serious oil paintings) is evident in this artwork of a playful bear. In the light of the northern lights, it pokes its head above water during an arctic swim. Will you join in?

When polar bears were listed on the Species At Risk Act, Montague began her passionate journey of painting polar bears.
