Teddy represents my biggest drawing
accomplishment to date. This drawing has an incredible array
of unusual subtle hues; beautiful, elegant lines; and a wonderful
plump fuzzy feel. It has taken me 400 works of art to get to
the point where I can render this clearly. I love this
drawing. I was stunned when it arrived and I remained stunned
by this piece today. It is worth all of the endless messes and
near misses I have endured to experience the joy of creating
something this pure and true. This piece flowed out of me in
two very long drawing sessions that I will never forget. I
hope it will brighten the home or office of some fellow eternal
child out there. I began by roughing out this composition and then laying down a layer of bright, bold colors. Then I used a straight-edged razor blade to scrape that layer of oil pastel off and leave the mat board stained with a subtle underpainting. Then I layered and layered and layered and scratched and blended and scratched and blended. Teddy was drawn on a piece of acid-free mat board. This original drawing would look lovely displayed with a neutral mat and a warm-toned wood frame. Or any other combination that pleases you. This drawing is being offered unframed.
(How Teddy might look in a standard-sized 11" x 14" frame.)
