feeling the cold - wish i was a polar bear

it's super cold right now, but it isn't supposed to snow any time soon. so many other parts of the world seem to be covered in white right now.

years ago my mom and i decided to paint one evening, just to relax a little. there was a tiny magazine cut out on the kitchen table, it was a picture of a polar bear. so i decided to paint him. all i used was blue, white and black paint.

available as greeting card print in our store

the first time i saw a real polar bear (the poor thing was dead and stuffed and put on display at a museum, i think it was the natural history museum in london) i was amazed at it's size. these things can get HUGE!

i remember seeing the stuffed polar bear at the natural history museum for the first time! i saw it again in 2007 and was still amazed about it's size!! sad to realize they have less and less space to live on this earth :(
oh yes, and i LOVE the painting, of course!!

Remember those cozy evenings... and of course, I remember the huge bear at the natural history museum in london as well.
Also:
I still love the children's book "I just love you" (Ich hab' dich einfach so lieb) about a baby-polar-bear longing for his mama to hug him. Cant't wait to read it to Spencer.
