Everyone loves a bear in a hat and bow-tie!

Everyone loves a bear in a hat and bow-tie!
I spotted this painting on a wall inside a charity shop.

I was unable to find out who the artist was, but I was allowed to take a photo of it. It was already in black and white, so I just cropped the photo to remove some distractions and added some contrast and a border.

I love it...........if it had been painted on a canvas instead of on a wall, I would have bought it :-))

bonsai59, Annemarie, Colin Ashcroft, Xata and 14 other people have particularly liked this photo

Difficult to carry a wall home I agree Keith ;-))
A wonderful amount of detail and superb proportions so lots of work has gone into this image, love the overall painting especially that hat! A lovely capture!

He would probably have liked a bigger hat, but that's not possible because of the ears!

I've got a hat that's very similar (without the white band). Luckily my ears are better positioned on my head..!!

A great image Keith,.I'd have bought one too - it's strange isn't it, how bears are widely distributed and sold as cuddly toys and other playthings,. yet they are in the main extremely vicious killers.. // Cheers from Dj.

Glad you like this one David.........and thanks for your interesting comments.....you're right of course........but I have it on good authority that the bears with hats and bow ties are always sweet and cuddly :-)))
