Polar Bear Study 2


Acrylic on canvas 20 x 30 by Brendan Burns

This is a larger study of Kobe the young Polar Bear when she was at the Roger Williams Zoo.

There are three hidden bears in this picture - can you find them?

I painted this and donated it to the zoo for their annual fund raisning event called Zoobilee. It raised a $1,000 at the silent Auction.

The markings in the rocks in the background are also the pattern of the zoo layout representing the various pathways. I painted a lot of hot and cold colours together in the fur so the painting was quite vibrant when you looked into it.

The entire painting was completed in one weekend
