The idea behind this piece is that when were little we all have teddy bears. They are there for us whenever we need them to provide us a sense of comfort and safety. As we grow older, we grow out of them. We turn to new methods of comfot. For many of us, this means finding people who we trust, whether it be a friend, partner, mother, father, counselor, or whatever else. These people become our new teddy bears. Without getting too depressing, I found my two teddy bears. However, they recently dropped me like a hot potato. In a sense, they out grew me. Thats what this piece is about. Technically wise, I have a love hate relatonship with this piece. I love the teddy bears. I think the texture I created is really beauitful, and I love the colors I added into the fur. However, I could not for the life of me make the girl look normal. I painted over and started again way to many times. Eventually, I just gave up. Its mostly just the face that bothers me. Everything is shaped wierd, but it was just too hard to get it right when it was so small. Basically, if I just removed the girl I would be in love with this piece. Maybe later on I will paint over her and try again, but for now I cannot bear to think of trying to paint that little itty bitty girl ever again.
