April In Alaska prompts audible ooooo's and aahhh's. Utah artist, Joe Venus, woos viewers with his captivating depiction of a mother polar bear introducing her two cubs to the vast remoteness and wonder of Alaska.

Venus says the painting was inspired when his heart was stolen by two polar bear cubs, born at Salt Lake City's Hogle Zoo.

So, take a moment to experience April In Alaska - sense the bonding relationship between mother and cubs, feel the frigid Arctic air, ride the bobbing icebergs and hear the sound of nothingness - all through the talented hand of artist Joe Venus.
