The oil paintings of my "Dark Water" series depict a solitary polar bear at night in the arctic fall. The lone bear (sometimes a cub) swims in a still, dark sea, a dramatic backdrop for its dense white fur and highly intelligent face.

The polar bear is the only bear that is a marine mammal. The bear’s size and strength combine with its slightly webbed front paws and highly insulated and buoyant body to make it a powerful swimmer. The polar bear in each of these paintings is fully at home, whether shown above or below the water’s surface.

12” x 12” oil painting on canvas. Wired , ready to hang. Certificate of Authenticity.
