Just varnishing to go! Phew!

[amberdreams]

By Jove, I think he's done. Finally! Now I have to varnish him. This bear is being sponsored by a company called Biomass and they've given me some special varnish that is supposed to keep my bear free from bacteria - apparently they are going to go round the trail swabbing bears to show how their product keeps mine so much cleaner! LOL

Details:
He's a bit gozzy, poor bugger.



I enjoyed doing the snake. I'll have to look up which one it was supposed to be. All the creatures are endangered and South Asian, though they might not actually share a habitat with the Sun Bear.

It's hard to photograph him in the living room - the light isn't great and you can't get far enough away. I'll have to get some pics when I go and see them both on the trail!

I can't believe he's done! How many sculptures have you painted this year now? It's epic :) The difference between the beauty on his front and the desolation on his back is so stark and a good visual reminder we need to take better care of our planet. Well done for finishing him hun :D

He looks simply wonderful! I especially adore that side view of the forest and the deforestation. Looking forward to seeing him in the 'wild' :)

He looks awesome! The snake is definitely my favorite part!

And this varnish stuff sounds so weird. Is it really important to have art sculptures bacteria free? LOL

He's looking great - all your hard work was well worth it!
Will you be able to go and visit him when he's in situ?

I love his eyes, they look a little sly and sideways, like he's a bear who slinks. Fabulous work.
Bacteria-free bear made me laugh, though... but what the heck, if they're prepared to sponsor a bear.

Well, this gentleman looks really, really gorgeous!

He looks magnificent! <3<3 The contrast between the sheer life and the dead forest is really stark, so I hope that he makes people think about that. Bacteria-free bear souds kinda funny, though. :)

He is absolutely gorgeous, but a bit sad too, with his deforested behind! But I love the message and he's wonderful :)
