Splendor of Autumn celebrates the majesty of the fall season!
And like all Canadian bears, Splendor is preparing to hibernate in the winter.
Indeed, he may actually be slowly crawling into his den as we watch!
Oqituq is well versed in the art of carving small sculptures.
Every detail of a large piece must still be contained within the much smaller carving.
This is meticulous, time consuming and requires talent and patience.
Splendor will tug at your heart strings.
His stunning colour is outstanding!
PROUDLY CANADIAN SINCE 2007
