Comfor-Ted WIP 2

Baby Ted is now finished and Mommy Ted is slowly appearing as I paint the fur texture and then glaze over.

I thought you would like to see a close up of the baby teddy. Cute isn't he :) You can get a better feel for the smooth graduations of colour of the background in the close up too.

Lots of fur still left to do on Mother Ted.

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.
