Arctic Circles original oil painting

Description

Arctic Circles is one in my series of wildlife preservation artworks. I hand built the wood substrate from birch and pine. I painted the polar bear in a realistic manner, but with some loose multicolor brush strokes. Thick dark green, almost black covers the foreground. The painting features my diagonally divided background. I used bright orange to cover the background. Small circles in a polka-dot pattern are etched in the orange field using graphite. This painting is still for sale, so if you’d like to purchase this painting, just click on the “Add to cart” button above.
