Linda Dawn LangAFC Climate Change Paintings of the Arctic and Antarctica
Thick-billed Murres on Bird Cliffs
(2010)
Subject: Arctic Birds and Cliffs Dimensions (inches): 12 x 16 Medium: Oil on panel Description: I hiked and carried my paint box over rocks and up many cliffs to find this view. After I started my painting, the group moved on and suggested that I follow for fear of polar bears. Since there were gun bearers behind me and obviously no seals or walrus on the steep cliffs, I made an 'adult decision' and decided to stay where I was and finish my painting. I assumed that no polar bear would climb those cliffs in search of food when obviously the best food source is in the ocean. Two days later, at another bird cliff, we saw 17 polar bears who were climbing cliffs very much like these ones in search of food. With no summer sea ice, the polar bears are adapting and finding a new food source. I might have to re-think my 'adult decision' to sit and paint on bird cliffs in the future.
