Whale carcasses have been a lifeline for very lucky bears who happen to be near one that has just beached. The less lucky bears have to patrol the frozen coastline for scraps that have been missed. I created this after taking almost a full year’s break from painting, where I had been too ill to hold a paintbrush with a steady hand. In hindsight, I probably should have started with something smaller and simpler, but my impatience with my limitations had run out.
