Sarah - Thanks for sharing about the dog names and egg tempera. Interesting.
 
Jean - the leaves look great and I like the rose too (much better than I could ever do).
 
Jen - I could picture your cake in a children's book. I am not so brave to try it, but glad you did.
 
Bonnie - I have used the same tech. with charcoal (figure/nude class), so I can apprec. the amount of detail you did. You did one fine job! Give yourself a pat on the back.
 
Marsha - I'm still chuckling about the purple smudge. Cute story.

I have enjoyed all the chatter about the bears and wondered if it would like a companion? By the way my monitor wallpaper is of part of the galaxy...brilliant colours and cheers me up on a snowy, freezing day like today.

I collect teddy bears and this one has her own cushion. Pastel on dark Ingres paper.

Sarah, this is a beautiful painting of an adorable bear. It love the fluffy hat! How big is the painting? I still have my old Teddy from when I was three but he is a poor old thing next tomyour little girl. No hair left and patched and battered with love!

Jen C & C's always welcome

Sarah - This does have a warm glow that's very welcome during this cold spurt. Your bear looks ready for tea - very proper. Excellent detail and texture.

Hello Jen,

I have around fifty bears......I blame it on the war (WW2) there were no bears/or toys available in those days so I appear to have made up for it by buying one in every country I visited in later years. I even have one which is six inches tall and is kneeling in prayer on my bedside table.

The bear is approximately A4 unframed. Pleased you like her.

Yes Sarah your bear does look very proper almost regal sitting on her cushion. She would have come in handy yesterday to warm up our day when we had a blizard go through and our world turned white for some time. The pastels give this such a nice soft appearance, just right for a teddy bear.

Bonnie   C & C most welcome / appreciated

Sarah, great painting of the grizzly, the background is amazing too and suits him. You did a wonderful job of showing his thick fur too.

Jen C & C's always welcome

Sarah, very nice watercolour of the grizzly bear. I also like the background. This bear is not one you'd like to curl up with. We don't have grizzly's here, just black bears and a few too many of them but they are all hibernating now. You have really captured the bear and his surroundings.

Bonnie   C & C most welcome / appreciated

To Everyone...I'm so behind with my comments to all of you and I'm sorry for not being around to keep up. This has been a not so good month for me for some reason. I think the weather has had me in a real funk. I'm going to focus on next month and try to keep up.

I have looked back at everyone's drawings and paintings for this month and they are all great!

Sarah - I have had the privilege of seeing quite a few of your works from PaintDoodles and this has to be one of your best, IMO. The bear and the background together make it superb.

Sarah, your grizzly painting is wonderful. He has such girth to him and his coat looks so thick. I love the background work you've done.
