A little piece of the Alaskan coast painted on a canvas grown by the forest.
This one-of-a-kind artwork features a hand-painted humpback whale on genuine Bear Bread, also known as Artist’s Conk. The whale is filled with flowing, ornamental curls and sweeping lines in layered shades of ocean blue, giving the piece a folk-art feel while still keeping the unmistakable silhouette of one of Alaska's most iconic marine animals.
The natural cream surface of the Bear Bread has been left visible around the whale, while the irregular outer edge preserves the organic shape and coloring of the original conk. The result is a piece that combines Alaskan wildlife, natural materials, and original hand-painted art.
At approximately 4½ inches wide, this is one of the smaller Bear Bread pieces and is perfect for displaying on a shelf, desk, mantel, bookcase, or among a collection of coastal and Alaskan decor.
Because every Artist's Conk grows differently, the shape, edge, texture, and natural markings of this piece are completely unique. The piece pictured is the exact artwork you will receive.
