How do you call that sleeping on the job? The bear is wide awake. It is a great painting nonetheless. Take care. Keep smiling, and have an awesome day.

    It does.
Comment from Veronica Starzycki


I admire the confidence in this work for its more abstract, rather than realistic, approach. Doing this sometimes runs the risk of appearing childish. Therefore, it takes a certain level of development for an artist to decide where to draw the line. I think for this work, in particular, the artist made a good decision to include creative textures that allows the story of the work to transcend beyond what the natural eye sees and into a new vision of the cold with a unique storyline that will enable us to explore the art for context instead of fixating on technique. The artist could look into improving the cleanliness of the work by giving certain things like the legs of the camper, the tent, and the gun as much attention and care as the other details.

interesting creation. the body form and language is good. the depth is good. the details is good. lil shading underneath the bear would ground him. also you have some excess showing and should be cropped out so this doesn't distract the viewer from your work. still it is a creative approach and good job overall.

Interesting artwork! The light, shadows, colours, and composition worked well. If you could trim the sides and frame it properly, it will have beeter visual effect. Good luck!Good effort!

What a wonderful piece of artwork, this is very creative. I love that the Bear is having his very own fish fry. I noticed the hunter's or campers legs and feet sticking out of the tent on the right side sleeping while this is happening. That little detail adds interest to your composition. Your artwork is whimsical, colorful, eye appealing and interesting.

I like the uniqueness of this painting. The polar bear is great. I love how you show the fur with the texture you used. The fire is cute. I like the background. I love the sky. There is nice depth to this piece.

A good looking nature image posted here. Being a Brit I have no idea what a bear fish is. Colours, textures and tones are good. Nicely done!
