Description
The Polar Bear by Amy E. Fraser is a painting of an adorable polar bear gazing out at the viewer from a majestic winter landscape featuring a lake, pine trees and decoratively patterned snow covered hills on a beautiful moonlit night. Polar bears are the largest carnivorous land mammals on Earth. They are about seven to eight feet long, measured from the nose to the tip of their very short tail. Many of the polar bear's physical adaptations help it maintain body heat and deal with its icy habitat. The bear's outer layer of fur is hollow and reflects light, giving the fur a white color that helps the bear remain camouflaged. The skin under the polar bear's fur is actually black; this black is evident only on the nose. The Polar Bear is a delight to behold, overflowing with charm, intelligence and character and is part of Amy E. Fraser’s Menagerie collection of whimsical hand drawn and hand painted animal portraits.
A menagerie is traditionally a collection of captive animals, frequently exotic, kept for display; a precursor to the modern zoo or zoological garden. However, Amy’s Menagerie is one of the imagination only, all animals represented in this collection are wild and free. The “Menagerie” is basically a catchy title to encompass a rather large, eclectic series of full bodied, detailed, head to toe illustrations of magnificent real world animals displayed in colorful landscape settings with a fun, folksy, fairytale vibe presented in a horizontal format.
The Menagerie Painting Collection by Amy E. Fraser. The Menagerie works are one of a kind, original paintings created with care and dedication to traditional human craftsmanship. The Menagerie Series is inspired by Amy’s lifelong connection to animals and is an impassioned tribute to the beauty and magic of our beloved Animal Kingdom. Medium: Watercolor Pencil, Oil Pastel and Acrylic Paint on 140lb cold press acid free archival watercolor paper. All images copyright Amy E. Fraser. All rights reserved.
