This is Christopher. He is a very inquisitive little
guy. He loves to be read to and you can usually find him

Christopher plans on NEVER growing up.

animal art mohair teddy bear

Hi there!
This is a little war time bear named Tillie. Although she
is a bit scruffy and has one ear that is a mess she has the
most wonderful sense of humor. I enjoy her so much because
every time I look at her,she makes me smile.

"Sneezle"
oil on masonite - 5"x7"
animal art handmade teddy bear

This is #4 in my limited edition of Teddy Bear Portraits.
He is one of my Mohair bears with soft leather pads and
glass bead eyes. I call him "little Sneezle" because he
is only 5.5" tall. He loves to sit on the window sill
and watch the birds.

animal art antique teddy bear

This is a one of a kind portrait of Clarence. He has button eyes,
a few stitches showing and a tattered paw but he has a cute smile
and is an extremely curious little fellow that loves to sit by
the window sometimes!

animal art

The painting today is my old childhood friend. His stitches
are showing, he is bare in spots and even one eye is missing
but he still has a loving personality.
