Polar Bear: First Day of Winter

8x5.5 watercolor of a sleepy polar bear at the zoo painted on Saturday, 21 December the first day of winter, while in the snowy mountains.  His zoo environment was concrete and couldn't help but feel pity he's not out in his own natural Antarctica icy terrain.  I featured this piece on WetCanvas! weekend drawing event (photo courtesy Jean).  I cropped the photo to show only his head and shoulders.
