Mother's Gifts

4" x 6" Oil $100.

I've had this little Paddington fellow on my elegant

writing desk for years now. He peeks out of a

cubby hole (how appropriate a name for his place)

and charms me with his sweetness. When I was

well into my adult life, my Mother gave him to

me. As I looked for things of consequence to me

that I would want to paint, there he was. Of course

I had to give him some things to play with....
