Love how the "human" like figure is despairing over the loss of the polar bear and yet it is also losing itself in the process... And is continuing to do so.

Job well done! It has really pulled some of my heartstrings.

God this is so beautiful and sad! I immediately thought of global warming and extinction which seems to be what you were going for, so you did a great job in conveying the message!

I was going to write one but I thought I'd leave it up for interpretation

well, the idea of the painting is more of a social commentary than an actual story haha
to me it's representative of humankind's sorrow for what we've done to the planet n its inhabitants, but even though we mourn, we continue to destroy
i saw a photograph from national geographic before I painted this, of a polarbear that was just skin and bones, eating upholstery from a snow mobile seat
