ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Curious Polar Bear shows a polar bear standing, patiently watching something out of our viewpoint. Juno the polar bear, a young female polar bear is the inspiration behind this sketch. To witness a polar bear rise up on their hind legs before you is truly a remarkable thing! This mixed media artwork is a sketch in 14B pencil ( a very soft, dark pencil) on canvas with metallic gold acrylic paint in the background and in some highlights. I use gold paint to represent both the treasure polar bears and nature are. But the gold also represents the sun and our warming climate.

July 2023, is "Polar Bear Wonder & Warning" a solo exhibit of polar bear portraits, Christine accepts commissions. She is based in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. When polar bears were listed on the Species At Risk Act, Montague began her passionate journey of painting polar bears. She uses her portraiture and realism oil painting skills, to document and celebrate the polar bear's character and spirit, its high intelligence (think great ape), and its survival in a world of vanishing sea ice. Through her travels to the Canadian arctic (Iqaluit & Cape Dorset, Nunavut) and subarctic (Churchill,Manitoba, Canada - polar bear capital of the world), Montague has furthered her knowledge on polar bears and climate change.
