    This is wonderful Tina. I can just imagine our own bear in the woods behind our house discovering the things in our yard…which he does a couple of times a year.

    This is really wonderful! I love the layered background, and the perfectly puzzled look on the bear’s face. Excellent work!

    He’s so cute! Love the blush in his cheeks. Must be from the excitement of finding such a curious treasure or maybe just anger cause he had thought it was spaghetti.

    Ascender took my comment! he does look to be all thumbs :D I’ll bet he’ll learn to knit in no time. Wonderful illo!

    Very characterful bear. Love the background, too.
    Someone should help him knit a nice scarf for winter.

    Love the overlap of patterns. A Bloody Mary with olives? That is a new one, heard of pickles or celery.

    Cute Bear!

    Very nice illustration! I love his expression and can’t help but wonder who left all that yarn out there and why? Was it a granny that made a discovery of her own…a big bear! Great work :)

    I really like how you handled the background, then balanced it with the strong saturated colors in the bear and the basket – this is really a great art piece!

    This is a great idea for the post. I really like the patterns that you have underlying everything.

    Beautiful! I like the flowered texture through the woods… carried through minutely on the basket of yarn. And a very inquisitive, expressive bear here.

    Beautiful your style! I love it. Thanks for your comment.
    I’ve reading your FAQ… are you iranian? or your parents?

    Well I’ve reading a incredible book of Marjane Satrapi, She is iranian, She lives in Paris… I like her comic book named Persépolis.

    Lucia, yes, I was born in Tehran, but soon after my parents and I moved to Germany. Then later the USA.

    I haven’t heard of Marjane Satrapi, I’ll have to look up her comic book! Thanks!

    Great job, love the trees in the background and the muted colors you used, helps to contrast the string. Excellent work as usual.

    Great one ! Love the flower texture and trees on the background, also the look of discovery on his face !

  53. luci

    The background is awesome, but the bear still dominates the picture with his charismatic cuteness. I love the look of wonder in his face as he tries to finger knit (or paw knit).

    “I love Texas, people just don’t understand the powerful awesomeness that is Texas.” That sounds like what Sandy Cheeks would have said.

    Haha, I guess I need to watch more SpongeBob. I didn’t know they promoted Texas.

    Teeenaaaa! I love so much this awesome bear! I’ve always loved him! The style of this piece is beautiful, of course. However, it’s the bear’s expression and pose that make me love the illustration.

    Bravo, once again!!
