These are two of the bears in my collection. The one on wheels my husband bought me many years ago. Some parts are gone due to the tiny hands of grandchildren. 5x7 oil on canvas panel. Bear painting. I hope you like.....I have been practicing or in other words painting with attention to detail. It feels good to enjoy what I am doing because I am enjoying what I am doing.

My Friends and I by Angela Sullivan

My Friends and I.
 I love Teddy Bears. I have a few of them and occasionally move them from place to place in my house. I cringe when my grandchildren grabs one of them to play with. These are some of them from my collection. A little animated of course. 10x10 oil on gallery wrapped canvas.












I do not have a light box. Of course I want one and have set up several arrangements at different times but really I do need a real one. This is a glimpse of the make shift one I used for this painting. Pretty bad huh?

Giving Love Away

 

Giving Love Away

I am still in my quest of doing the perfect study which will become a larger painting. And

daily I trudge along paintingmy little heart out. Today once again I paint this Teddy Bear which my

mom gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago. I only have a few of them and treasure each one.

As I think about this little bear I think about my mom. She will be 89 this year. I still call her each day and I can't help but think about all those times she showed me love in so many ways. Like all of the times she did without so I could have what I wanted not what I needed. It is a wonderful thing when you give love away and years later it brings a smile when someone thinks of it.

Snuggles

Snuggles

I am a big giant of a bear. My voice is gruff and I look real mean. Well

no , not today. today I am wearing my nice demeanor. I am trying to empress someone.

YOU! What I am trying to say is that I want to go home with you. Ok really I

am just a big fluffy push over. I just hang around and wait for hugs. What you

say? Let's snuggle up and do some hugging.

I am still waiting here!

Missie

Missie

That would be Mrs. Missie to you. I am serious and calm.

I don't like funny things. There is only one exception and that I can't help.

You see I have grandchildren and they come over and disrupt my life.

They break my valuables and eat all my snacks. The very worst thing is that

despite my serious demeanor they make me laugh. They break my facade.

Oh why must I give in so easy. That's it! They very next time they come over

I will just pretend to be sick.  Ha Ha! already I break down just thinking of

their cute faces and laughter. I will surely lose at my own game. I give up.

Pearl

Pearl

I was told by my grandma that a pearl is a treasure to be proud of.

She is the one who named me pearl. My eyes she used to say, were full

of life and joy, How you may ask because after all I am only a stuffed teddy bear.

Well the secret you see is that my eyes reflect the beauty of the one who holds me

close and loves me with all their heart. My eyes reflect the beauty of a child's soul.

My name is Pearl and I hold rare beauty.

Hi There! I know you have not seen me in a while.

 I have been hidden away at the bottom of the toy box.

As my people found me while looking for toys which could be

given to the Salvation Army's Toy Rescue which provides toys

to the poor at Christmas. There I was. I put on my best face and made

sure that my eyes twinkled as she held me. Oh Yea! it works every time.

So here I am still at home. All comfy on the toy shelf. I will try it again next year.
