Hungry As A Bear by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Sorry for not posting over the last few days. I kinda got caught up in the Christmas spirit and family and friends and neglected my blog and my followers. I painted this little bear another of my favorites. His hair is fluffy and he is just plum cute. I find olives and interesting thing to paint so my husband bought me a jar the other day. They are very good and salty too. The fork kinda an after thought. This little dish is the one I purchased at World Market recently and the apple just because I wanted a little more red. I hope your holidays was wonderful as was mine. I was able to visit family and partake of much food. To much I might add. My son Kristopher came from North Carolina with his sweet wife Jen. She is the most amazing cook. She made some of those homemade marshmallows with chocolate and coconut on top you know the kind that you only see on pinterest. My daughter and her friend came and put down new porcelain tile in my kitchen and my youngest daughter just made sure that every moment was wonderful. I think of all of these things and realize how very blessed I am. Life is good and I just want to savor every moment. Thank you for visiting my blog, thanks for all of the kind words and priceless comments. May your year be filled with happiness and just plain good things.

Baby Sitting by Angela Sullivan

Mom wanted me to babysit once again. At first I screamed Nooooooo! but then I thought about how tired she has looked lately. My little sister looked up to me and smiled. I decided I would try it just one more time. I know I will just give her all the milk and cookies that she could possibly want and then some candy. Then she will have to be good right?

I had so much fun painting this. I was thinking about painting and how long I wondered when I would ever see my style as they call it. I think every artist must start out painting like someone else until one day you paint something that is truly yours. Today is one of those days.

My Friends and I by Angela Sullivan

My Friends and I.
I love Teddy Bears. I have a few of them and occasionally move them from place to place in my house. I cringe when my grandchildren grabs one of them to play with. These are some of them from my collection. A little animated of course. 10x10 oil on gallery wrapped canvas.

I do not have a light box. Of course I want one and have set up several arrangements at different times but really I do need a real one. This is a glimpse of the make shift one I used for this painting. Pretty bad huh?

Giving Love Away

I am still in my quest of doing the perfect study which will become a larger painting. And

daily I trudge along paintingmy little heart out. Today once again I paint this Teddy Bear which my

mom gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago. I only have a few of them and treasure each one.

As I think about this little bear I think about my mom. She will be 89 this year. I still call her each day and I can't help but think about all those times she showed me love in so many ways. Like all of the times she did without so I could have what I wanted not what I needed. It is a wonderful thing when you give love away and years later it brings a smile when someone thinks of it.
