Teddy & Blooms
Hi there, I think some paintings go together like a puzzle. I always try to plan them out and I mostly paint from life. This painting started out with the vase of flowers and a couple of pumpkins, I painted it from a set up with my Monday group. I liked the flowers but wasn't feeling the pumpkins so I thought what would work well there. I have had this little teddy for years and have painted it before and thought lets try that. I am pretty happy with it and wanted your focus to be on the bear as I think it is. The only thing I would have changed if I had set this up to paint is I would have placed the bear in front of the flowers. This is acrylic on a 11 x 14 stretched canvas. Thank you so much for visiting me, I love your comments. Hugs

Beautifully painted, Barbara. Love the color of the flowers and adding the bear was perfect...love her outfit!!!
Barbara, this is great. I think the bear works very well behind the vase. I like it!
I love it! I think you have nailed each and every texture in your set-up and just love the colors you reflected into the the glass. And all in Acrylic! Bravo!
Thank you Hilda, you are so good to me. Hugs
Thanks Jo! So glad you think it does work.
What a fantastic comment Meredith, thank you! I feel great about the results I get with acrylics, you know the challenges well.
Hi Barbara,
I think you nailed it and the vase is beautiful! Great job with acrylics. I still find them frustrating! I haven't been around the blog scene for a while but I just posted a new painting (finally).
