Teddy, Oil, 16x20

Teddy is king of the roost and often surveys his domain from the arm of the couch. I got him at the Olympia Animal Shelter, and they said he had been found wandering around somewhere. He was so young, they wouldn't let me take him for a week. That was 11 years ago in September 2011. One goal of this painting was to catch an old world sense or feel to it.
