Shadows On Faces On The Walls Of Memory

We were talking and we got on the subject of childhood and he mentioned that when he was a kid he had a favorite white bear that he dragged around everywhere. He slept with it and watched TV with it and ate breakfast cereal with it while reading the back of the box.

All I could remember was that on the wall in my room where two big carved wooden indian heads that eyes stared down at my all night long. I remember asking my mother to leave the door open a bit to let the light in. However, the little bit of light coming in would make the sharp features on the face cast ominous shadows and look even more menacing.

I am fairly certain that at the time I would have happily traded the Indian heads for a soft white teddy bear. However, these days, I am not so sure.

... Enjoy!

To be honest, I guess I am just not in a people mood tonight. I don't know exactly why. I feel like it has been a day wasted in negativity from almost everyone I ran into. (minus a couple.) I suppose, if I was to learn anything from my psych degree I should assume that the root of the issue is likely to have more to do with myself and less to do with everyone else. So, to keep it simple, I thought it best to paint some kind of animal tonight. (even though it still more human looking, wouldn't you say) I'll try again tomorrow after a good nights sleep and for now it is just this animal and I'll put the world on pause and try again in the morning... Enjoy!

I was recently commissioned to do a small series of "animal like" paintings / drawings for someone. (Hi R.!) They were going to go in the kids room with the toys and games and clothes and dirty socks and books and all the other good stuff that you find in a kids room. I never ever imagined that a Keemo would be in admist all that stuff. I have to tell you that I am very honered to be there. So anyway, I really enjoyed doing them so I thought I would do another just for kicks. Well, here is a bear with lips a bit like a human and to be honest with I suppose it doesn't matter too much. If the kids can imagine what it is then it is just fine by me...Enjoy!
