"Polar bears are generally loners. They seldom cooperate on the kill, and mated pairs are rarely
seen together. The female, however, will spend a long time with her one or two cubs, giving
them lessons of the hunt. Sometimes the young bear can be almost as big as its mother
before it goes out on it's own.

“In this painting, I have been gazing into the landscape which is the direction I want the viewer
to gaze. Three-dimensional form is important in all of my paintings, but I especially enjoyed
playing with it in this one. I would like the viewer to be carried back across the pack ice, past
the sea mist and up the rugged valley. As we move up the valley, we explore waterfalls,
cliffs and concave and convex slopes.
“Finally, we reach the top and the permanent ice cap, which has formed into a massive,
simple sculpture.” Robert Bateman
