A  big Bear Hug for the Best Beast'  in the Cannabis Jungle.. 
This lean Leo - he's so sweet - like a big  pussy cat. 
Bear can't resist his purring ways - or that majestic mane with it's white whiskers.
Who said  bear hugs are just for bears?  

King of the Cannabis jungle - no wonder he is smiling. 
Being the month of the Leo I'm enjoying painting lions, this is my favourite to date. 
Bear does not care - the heart wants what the heart wants..  here, there, anywhere. 

'Best Beast  & Bear' hangs above my desk -I hang them on clips on a nail,  it's the one spot  where I can switch them up'.
- Hang your own work, inspire yourself, don't be too distracted by the look of others or you'll never master your own look. 
​
Time to paint more love into the Universe.

With Love

I've some lovely Cannabis art around the corner...  stay tooned.
​

I want to start the week on a positive note...
One night while bear was wandering though the forrest alone she heard a faint noise
at first - like humming bird wings fluttering round her furry ears....  singing. 
Who sings in the middle of the night, alone in the forrest?

Broadway Bear' that's who.

​
There he was on top of a tree singing-  "Singing in the Rain!"   There was no rain.
From the second she saw broadway - he made her smile.
He was singing with a smile on his face! Fur glistening not with rain but with moonlight, he sparkled as if a million tiny diamonds danced with him.

"Come on with the rain! I've a smile on my face!"  He bellowed out! 
He was larger than life... up there  on that pedestal &  when he leaped down- he could dance! Broadway tapped all over he forrest, jumping from rock to tree with the ease of a gazelle. All the while Bear watched from the trees,  hidden but intrigued with his moves & voice.. it was honey to her ears.

Broadway knew she was watching.
Broadway was watching Bear for awhile before she even knew he existed. 
As it turns out Bear and Broadway started to become fast friends.. a bit of 'chemistry'  existed between them, so Bear thought anyway.  Bear & Broadway continue to mingle exploring each other.  

Broadway seems to be able to make bear SMILE, his jokes, chats - impressing Bear with his continuous tales &  leaps & bounds'!  He can carve, he's confident, funny, smart, incredibly talented too...  as for his physical appearance - he was bears 'perfect pitch'!  
Bear felt Broadway was a blessing...  she had been praying after all.   

It turns out Bear and Broadway have a mutual love (if not for each other) for Cannabis!  It's what brought them together in the first place, Broadway could smell the cannabis coming from Bears cave.  They wander often into the garden of Love.   Love because it's filled with Gods medicine. They laugh, dance, joke, talk and just BE in each others company, away from the rest of the forest - someone - for a while to feel comfortable, close and cared for. 

Broadways disappears as quickly as he appeared it leaves Bear feeling confused and alone at times...  such is life in the forest.  What's a bear to do?  Nothing,  Bear is USE to being alone,  it's no different.  She does what she loves to do most, create & have a little fun.
Making 'Daisy chains' with Fox and even a midnight dip in the lake...   alone. 

God will send Bear  a companion in the future  to enjoy the forrest with... soon.  
That's what God does.  

With Love

                                      Some serious TLC for me. So, I painted Bears.

Bears in the Garden of love under an Aurora Borealis Sky - Having a terrific time.  
Bears 'Friend' is talented as you can see... he's carved a bong from a tree!  
I'm not sure what to name my bears... In my Binder of bears (I have a few now)  a story on each page & the bears are named. I've been thinking a lot about Gene Jelly so I might call him 'Broadway'.  From MY favourite movie &  'painting soon..
I've seen a hand caved wooden bong & met an artist from Japan, he gifted me a carved pendant.  Bears are ready for an evening of giggling, conversation surrounded by Cannabis and a  Supremely Spectacular Sky - who needs anything more?  LOOK at them!
Don't they look like they are ready for a jolly good time?  I know they are. 

On the original - I'm not sure how I did it but the sky looks like Northern lights!  
I'm starting a large Painting on Canvas.   Bear on Canvas -it should take me about 3 weeks of solid painting well into every  evening.  It will be cheerful and loving and full of flowers, fox, fungi, love, laughter, wolf, birds,  joy, butterflies and yes #cannabis of course.
I'll wake up every day and see it and Thank God for another day
& will continue to dare to dream!

Thank God. 
Less T.V for me.  Painting, Reading & Praying...  
with a bit of adventure here and there.
I am currently working on a smaller bear inspired by Charles Schulz Quote...  it's a bit frustrated and down at heart... that is life sometimes right?  Bear can't always be frolicking. 
It's a great way to 'paint it out' as well.. daily data processing. 

Spring is here.
My evenings are spent painting & imagining a relationship that is full of frolic, laughter & a bit of love thrown in..  I'm known for my persistence (smile), who knows?
NOW,  I'll keep painting & enjoy my bears with every stroke of my brush.  
Bear & Broadway make me smile.  Dare to Dream of better times.

* I gifted my BIG Purple GANESH Elephant -  to a friend of my sons since they were little, I use to teach him crafts he really liked it, I could see this... & I want to wish him LUCK & love. I just felt it was 'NOW' meant to go to  him.  He has a good heart this young man, I've always felt that about him.  :)  One Canvas leaves - another appears (I hope! lol) waiting for Bears!  

Painting, reading, praying.  

With Love
