Bears is such a unique piece. Each person who has ever gone
through my work in person has smiled immediately upon viewing this
one. There is just something about kids and balls, and about
kids and animals. I am not going to explain any story here, I
would prefer that you see your own story. But I will say that
this drawing has gorgeous, layered color and a warm luminance.
It is a distinctive original work of art sure to bring smiles and
daydreams to any home or work space.
How Bears was created... I rarely have time to create these detailed colored pencil pieces any longer. They are VERY labor intensive. To get colors that deep, I have to layer pencil for many many hours. Bears actually took a week of full-time effort. My hands cramp so bad when I work in pencil that I wake up aching. It is worth it when I see the results, though. The level of detail that I can capture with pencils is unparalleled. No other media can do what pencils can. Bears was drawn on acid-free mat board. You will want to protect your investment by framing this piece. You can save a bit on framing if you choose a ready-made frame at your favorite home store and bring the art and frame together to a custom-framer who can mat the art to fit the frame. But if you go this route, I highly recommend that you replace the plain glass with what framers call "museum glass". That will screen out harmful UV rays. These colored pencil pieces are EXTREMELY light-sensitive and will quickly fade if exposed to direct light.

SPECIAL NOTE: This site is gigantic. And it evolved over the course of ten years and 2,000 paintings. So far as I know, this is the largest single-artist portfolio website on the internet. Very exciting, but I am a technological boob and I maintain this site all by myself. That means there are glitches here and there. Some pages are outdated. Some formatting looks out of whack on different browsers. You get the idea. I apologize if you run into problems. PLEASE email me and tell me about 'em so I can fix them. Thank you!
