Whimsy365: Day 24
Well……if you don’t already know….the Country Bears Calendar that I have been painting since 1998 is in it’s final days. The 2017 calendar is the last Country Bears calendar. I must say I am extremely sad over this. My Teddy Bears have been a huge part of my success over the past 20 years. I am grateful to Amcal (ACCO) for their amazing publication of this calendar.
So, today, I was thinking about how much I enjoy creating art for the Country Bears Calendar and this sketch was the result of my thinking. Whether I license another teddy bear image or not, I will still sketch what “took me to the dance”.
Blessings,
Teresa

Hi Teresa – I know the feeling, somewhat. After my Hungry Animal Alphabet, I drew several animal collections for years. Mostly moved on from them but it is what got me going in art licensing so I’m grateful & sentimental about my once class assignment.
Hi Janet! I love your Hungry Animal art but also love what you are creating now. We evolved as our business grows as well as the market evolves so we are bound to have to say good-bye to what once was our bread and butter. Great to hear from you! Maybe see you in Atlanta?
Blessings,
Teresa
