"Polar Bear II"
Shannon Bueker
acrylic on canvas, 12" square
$150
I don't know about you, but I'd like to get in the same position as this peaceful sleepy bear. Isn't it time to hibernate? Shannon Bueker often uses unusual colors in her animal paintings, capturing emotion or movement seemingly coming from inside the animal rather than just as you would ordinarily see on the surface. This polar bear is actually white! -- well, white upon first look, but truly full of subtle variations and grays, browns, blues, mauves, etc. I love how the light shines on his head as if bringing sweet dreams. There is another painting of the same size, of another (or the same) polar bear standing. It would certainly look great on the same wall!
