“What if, traveling the arctic, you entered a blowing snow drift and, unknown to you,
a polar bear entered from the other side? By the time you both knew this, it
would be too late. This painting is the way I expressed the discovery. My
“White Encounter – Polar Bear” came out of a challenge I gave myself to paint most
of a painting in a slender range of almost whites, like a composition on a piano in
four notes high in the tonal treble clef.”
