Default The 3 Bears

These bears are relief carved in a old pine board and painted with acrylic. The wood was so dry it took several coats of paint on everything you see here.

Its 9 3/4 X 14 1/2 inches.

Your thoughts or comments are more than welcome. I had a good story about them but been at the VA all day today,ER Ive been getting dizzy and head hurting all this wk plus my blood presure was hight,fluid behind my ears,But wanted to post theses bears. Hope you like them,Forrest

Hi Forrest, Sorry to hear your not up to par. The VA. will take good care of you, they always do. I had some tests yesterday and go back next week for results, nothing serious. Enjoy your carvings and painting as always. Stay well Ole Friend. Merle
