Blue Ice

 

 

​Painted for DPW's 'World Polar Bear Day' Challenge.

This wondrous animal lives in a glacial blue world,

which I tried to depict in the blues of his icy habitat.

But unfortunately, my camera and/or computer

has calibrated the blue as a cobalt,

when in reality, it is a gorgeous shade of glacial turquoise.

 (Despite all my efforts, to date,

I have been unable to find a way to correct the problem.

If I do, I will change out the picture.)

Many Shades of Gray

 

 

Painted for DPW's values challenge

 using only shades from black to white.

I had been wanting to paint this polar bear

and decided this challenge was a good excuse to do so.
