I was reading an art blog which said that people stop to look for longer at paintings of citrus. Which got me wondering – “Why citrus, apart from the appealing colours?” As I mused, thought about citrus which led to thinking of slices of lemon in a glass with ice. Which got me thinking about ice, and because I am passionate about conservation and wildlife, my mind leapt to polar ice, and polar bears – and the concept for the “Who would like some more ice” series was born.
I often use contrasting colours. Here the main colour is blue, I so I mix the remaining two primary colours, red and yellow, to get the complimentary colour orange. Which is why this painting has a slice of orange rather than a slice of lemon, as it stands out more.
Painting the animal is my favorite part and I really enjoyed painting the fur and the tiny face details.
More ice needed for polar bears and people!
