[Art] Polar Bear as Totem

[moonvoice]

heathwitch, do you want to email me at ophelias.diary@gmail.com to yay or nay this piece?






I actually went with more 'deep sea' colouring, than icy colouring, because I feel that this more accurately represents the transition that our beloved, fragile and fierce polar bear is undertaking as I write this.

I also get the sense that polar bear doesn't mind the colours I chose. Heh. This is one of my favourites that I've done for a while, actually.

Iridescent green in the energy circles.

Ooh he's lovely. Have you done any other species of bear?

STUNNING! I love that you went with the blues and greens.

Oh wow! I totally dig those color choices - and his expression is perfect.

mmm.. I get a proud, strong, yet slightly desperate feeling from this, which makes sense. I love the colors like crazy.

I love the throat, and the eye, and the mouth. And i can't tell if polar bear feels masculine or feminine to me, at the moment. Bear usually comes to me as female, but polar bear is currently feeling masculine.

Not that it matters. Love!

He looks surprisingly serene despite being in such peril.

Do you sell prints?

Very nice.

[firehauke.livejournal.com]

that is some fantastic white in the fur - or is it blank board?

either way, nice bear.
