For Cameron

Like my other works this is water color pencil on canvas.

Bears

This is a watercolor painting.  It is 16x20 and was done because I like bears.  Some days I do my painting just for fun.  A lot of time I paint to do random acts of kindness.  These paintings are usually for someone who has lost someone or for some other reason.  All in all I need some times to do things for fun and or there beauty.
