Arctic Dreaming Polar Bear

Posted on November 24, 2008 by Tania

As I mentioned last week after Debby the Polar Bear (Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg) passed away I found myself contemplating a portrait of her based on photos Kevin took when we were at the zoo earlier this year. I chose a pose with her napping and once complete, plan to add colour to this to suggest a reflection of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).

About Tania

I'm an artist, specifically a wildlife artist. And how exactly does one know she is an artist, specifically a wildlife artist? Well, only artists get excited about new art supplies, "Mmm, unmarked claybord..." or discovering a new satin sheen spray varnish *sigh* And only a wildlife artist gets distracted during a very serious conversation with her exceptionally supportive spouse by a fledgling sparrow taking it's first shaky flight across the yard.
