Golden Eagle Art Gallery is pleased to offer an extensive collection of world-renowned artworks by Canadian wildlife artist, Robert Bateman. World-travelled and well versed, Bateman always tells a great story about each of his creations. Here is what he has to say about this piece:
"It is interesting that in the land of cold winter darkness, it would be the light that everyone mentions as a major element in the landscape. Summer turns the Arctic into the land of the midnight sun, but it is the angle of the light that makes it so special. My favorite time is just after sunrise and just before sunset. This magic illumination in the polar regions lasts for hours.
This polar bear is peering and sniffing into the distance from a perch on the pack ice, the platform and highway for the bear's best hunting."
