Christmas Teddy

original watercolor, sold

It ws titled "Christmas Morning" when it was printed as a limited edition Christmas card for Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington, Washington. The hospital had an annual fine art contest and the winning artwork became the card for the year. I was proud to win twice, and this is the second win. The painting was sold at the accompanying show of entries.The giant teddy bear is real—I made one for each of my sons for Christmas a long time ago—but the little boy is a composite, since my sons had expressed a desire for me to stop plastering their younger cutenesses around.
