" I have been trying to get organized after a big
move. I came across this pair of baby shoes in
a box with some family heirlooms. Funny to call
them "antique" as I know these were MY shoes!"
Hmmmmm.

Collectible Fine Art Teddy Bear Portrait #10
Original Oil on masonite 5"x6"

" For my special friends and collectors, I am
continuing my teddy bear portraits with two of my
new characters. This is Barney and Millie. Both
have been well loved in the past but have also
suffered quite a few hard knocks along the way.
Barney has been mended here and there and his
neck has become very loose, as he was found in
a dumpster. You can see that Millie's arm has been
reattached with an old button and her stuffing is
showing in a few places. The two are very happy
that they have found each other and I now find
them sharing their adventures and secrets."

"This was a fun piece to do with its bright colors
and shiny metal. I used to collect wind-ups and
the metal ones were always my favorites. This one
has a lot of action. The tail moves back & forward,
the ears go up & down and the feet move as the
ball rolls forward. Cool ! "

Original Oil on masonite 4"x6"

"Today I decided on an old electrical insulator. I
found this in the basement of my old studio building
that was over 100 years old. I am sure it must have
come from one of the old poles on the street. I love
how the light reflects through the old blue glass
and show its imperfections."
