Polar Bears?

I gather much of my artistic inspiration from photos.  I can spend hours digging through images, taking pieces and parts - building my own story and composition for a painting.  What would I do without the internet as a resource?   There are so many interesting images being posted by people around the world.  The inspiration never stops.   The following images grabbed my attention today.  I don't particularly know why I started looking at polar bear images.  I think I started with the concept of "tundra".   A concept that logically fits with my painting aesthetic.  There is something about the the emotion and the color of these photos that makes me jump out of my chair and want to run to the art studio.
