Only Two Polar Bears To Go
Here’s the 23rd Polar Bear Face for December 23rd
Here's polar bear face #23! A sweetheart of a bear for December 23rd! Enjoy your day!
Do you know that all my polar bear portraits are inspired either from photos I have taken of polar bears or are from my imagination. In this case this furry little face is inspired by a photo I took of the email bear, Juno, who was born @thetorontozoo , spent a while at the @assiniboineparkzoo and then returned pre pandemic to the Toronto Zoo again.

Polar Bear Art Advent Calendar. Tuesday, December 21, 2021
December 19th Polar Bear Art Advent Calendar is "In The Pink"
Today's Advent Calendar features the polar bear portrait from my painting In the Pink. Well, Christmas is just a week away and once again family get-togethers here in Ontario, Canada, are being limited due to the spread of the Omicron virus. So we're not quite "in the pink" here, but like this intelligent bear we're cautiously moving ahead. Enjoy your December 18th, and stay safe!

Bright in the Night. ©Christine Montague ChristineMontague.com Please see original below for painting without text.
For the 2nd winter in a row, these remarkable female citizen scientists, are inspiring active engagement around the climate crisis because of their stay at Bamsebu , a tiny cabin located in extreme isolation on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, about 78 degrees north of the Arctic Circle.
Right now, and for the next 3 months, they are experiencing the“Polar Night”, 24 hours a day they must navigate their surroundings in complete darkness. Polar bears are their nearest neighbor and they must always be on their guard.
I hope for their sakes, that a polar bear, bright in the night, is never a close as it is in this artwork!
In summation, this is a black and white portrait of a colourful bear. His textured white fur is bright , and his intelligence is, too.
This is an original acrylic painting on a 4” x 4" x 1.5 " wood panel.
The edges are a medium grey. It is signed, has a unique work completion number on the back , and is supplied with Certificate of Authenticity. It is perfect for standing on a shelf or table. To hang on a wall, simple put two push pins or two small nails and the inside edge will hang from it. .

Why is a Polar Bear like a Marshmallow? See Dec. 9 Polar Bear Art Advent Calendar
A marshmallow is a concoction that is both, sweet, solid and soft. I think this perfectly describes a polar bear cub, don’t you? It takes a cold heart to not acknowledge a polar bear cub is pretty darn adorable. Those solid little paws, fluffy, dense fur, bright little coal eyes and nose. Let’s not forget, its intelligence and strength, needed to survive the many challenges ahead.

This little bear is is on a metallic silvery mauve background, keeping the colours cool, and yet warm, re[presenting its youth and innocence, too.
