Of course when I paint something I never know what to name it. I just paint it and then the name just comes. Maybe not always the best one but at least something. I added the lime and the cherry just for a little fun interest. So which choice would you choose a cherry or a lime. I made this artist bear. My first and only one. It was quite a challenge. 10x8 oil on canvas panel.

A teddy bear my mama bought for me a few years ago. This is the only thing I really collect. I only have a few of them and each one is valuable because all of them were given to me by someone that I love. This is an oil painting on a black canvas panel. 8x8 still life.

Chillin

Chillin

Just sittin here chillin. I know I should get up and do something but I just don't

really want to. I see other bears out there catchin fish or tryin to get something good to eat

but I have figured out that if I don't want to.....They will bringme something just as good. 

Why should I wast all of that energy? Chillin... that is what I call fun.

Ok! I must confess that it is painting animals that makes me most happy. I have

a sense of well being as I hold that brush in my hand and then the canvas sings as I paint.

Anyone else feel like that?

Hungry As A Bear by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Hungry As A Bear by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Sorry for not posting over the last few days. I kinda got caught up in the Christmas spirit and family and friends and neglected my blog and my followers. I painted this little bear another of my favorites. His hair is fluffy and he is just plum cute. I find olives and interesting thing to paint so my husband bought me a jar the other day. They are very good and salty too. The fork kinda an after thought. This little dish is the one I purchased at World Market recently and the apple just because I wanted a little more red. I hope your holidays was wonderful as was mine. I was able to visit family and partake of much food. To much I might add. My son Kristopher came from North Carolina with his sweet wife Jen. She is the most amazing cook. She made some of those homemade marshmallows with chocolate and coconut on top you know the kind that you only see on pinterest. My daughter and her friend came and put down new porcelain tile in my kitchen and my youngest daughter just made sure that every moment was wonderful. I think of all of these things and realize how very blessed I am. Life is good and I just want to savor every moment. Thank you for visiting my blog, thanks for all of the kind words and priceless comments. May your year be filled with happiness and just plain good things.

I Need Love by Angela Sullivan

 

I Need Love by Angela Sullivan

Just a little stuffed bear you say. Well you are wrong. I am special. Today I was just minding my own business sitting on the shelf where she put me when she walked by and mindlessly reached for me. I could feel myself being lifted into the air and then the art studio. Why? I thought to myself am I going there? She reached down and picked up a tufted fancy place mat and arranged it just right before sitting me on it with a box for a pedestal. She squinted and looked and really measured me up. In the end well.... You can see what I looked like. Every time she paints me I always look different. Why oh why can't she get it right? Do I look fat in this? I thought so. Well at least she painted me unlike that place mat I mentioned it ended up being left out altogether. I guess I am the lucky one.

Baby Sitting by Angela Sullivan

 

Baby Sitting by Angela Sullivan

Mom wanted me to babysit once again. At first I screamed Nooooooo! but then I thought about how tired she has looked lately. My little sister looked up to me and smiled. I decided I would try it just one more time. I know I will just give her all the milk and cookies that she could possibly want and then some candy. Then she will have to be good right?

I had so much fun painting this. I was thinking about painting and how long I wondered when I would ever see my style as they call it. I think every artist must start out painting like someone else until one day you paint something that is truly yours. Today is one of those days.

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.

Griz

Griz

Yes I am a grizzly one of the meanest bears on the planet. Just the 

mention of my name make men tremble. Sometimes I do eat people but that

is usually when they get to close like in Yellowstone. You know those pesky tourist 

poking around where they shouldn't. One thing though.....I don't eat children. Nope don't like

them at all.

Lettuce

Lettuce is not all its cracked up to be. Yes I now it does not have

a lot of calories but who cares. It is yucky. It says something about

it when the food you are eating is green. Oh Well! That is all I have so I guess I will just

have to eat it. Want some?
