"Mr Bear", oil on panel, 6x6 inches

"Mr Bear", oil on panel, 6x6 inches

 

This teddy bear belonged to my daughter and now hangs out with a gang of stuffed animals in her baby's bedroom.  I must admit, since becoming a grandmother, I'm finding many things to do with babies suddenly very interesting to paint. 

Painting dailies allows me to experiment and challenge myself with all the quick starts and finishes that a small format provides. One of the best things about painting these little miniatures is that I can paint anything I want to and have fun with it;  Mr Bear was no exception.

  1. He's a sweetheart, Bobbi! I love the complexity of your rendering of the fur. It looks like it was fun.
