CURATOR'S CHOICE
I have NEVER seen a Malliki bear like Water Baby!

Paul has been an Elite Inuit Master Carver for years.
Our expectations are high!

This darling cub looks like he is reaching for someone to pick him up! 
His "tugging at the Heart Strings factor" is over 10.
For that reason alone, I had to make Water Baby a CURATOR'S CHOICE!

When is my Mom coming back?

She told me she would only be a minute!

"Don't move, Mister" she said.

She promised I could swim with my friends today but that hasn't happened...

I'm SSOO bored!

I know!

I'll count my toes starting with my paws!!!!

Oh, no! 

So far, I can only count to five!!!!

My clients have fallen in love with this cub and his predicament on the rock.

His Mom will soon be by with a wriggling fish for lunch but like all youngsters, he lives in the moment.

Water Baby is a departure from Paul's large magnificent adult Polar Bears.

He is the premier Inuit carver in the world for polar bears I believe.

Each detail down to individual hairs, is meticulously carved.

He has used deceased Polar bears, to determine the exact proportions and structures of the physical features of the Bears.

I can easily see Water Baby in a National Art Gallery one day as a prime example of an outstanding art piece from an Elite Inuit Master Carver, Paul Malliki.
