When you need a friend...

I've just finished the last of the three small gallery wrapped watercolours that I've been working on. I've called this one 'When you need a friend'.  We all need support from our friends at times. Sometimes to offer a listening ear or reassuring arm, other times just to let us know that we are on the right path. This was my inspiration for this painting.


 I liked the composition of the Teddies facing away because, to me, it felt more relevant to all of us. There isnt a face to link a character to, it could symbolize any of us at one time or another both being the person supported and the supporter for that is what true friendship is.

    Brinda, I'm glad that feeling came across to you.

    Thank you Mary Lou. I did warn you it tugged at the heart strings a bit. Thanks for your friendship.

    Thanks Madelaine. The teddy fur is just created by scribbling with a paintbrush... lots of fun.
