The sweetness of babies is universal. This portrait oil painting on wood panel is of a dear little polar bear cub with a baby's breath (gypsophila) flower crown on its head.

I painted Baby's Breath (Gypsophyla) in this baby bear's flower crown as this flower is symbolic of everlasting love and innocence. "Baby's Breath" is named so because of its delicacy. What better symbol for the polar bear cub. It is part of the Baby’s Breath Series which includes, the Painting of the Month for April, Sweetheart Bear & Hero of the North

The flower crown itself is a symbol of nature, tribute and celebration. It reminds us that our lives - nature and humanity, are as intwined as the flowers in the crown.

Purple is a symbol of royalty and for me, mauve becomes "baby" royalty. Mauve is a symbol of sentimentality and romance.

My polar bear paintings are all inspired by the photographs I have personally taken of polar bears.

The sides of the panel are painted black. The back is wired and ready for hanging.

The painting is signed, has a unique work completion number and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
