Bears

So ever since I first saw one in Duluth when we got there five years ago, I've loved the pastel paintings/pictures of bears by Sue Rowe.  There are SO many cute and funny ones I just wish I could buy one of them all!  We've always particularly liked the ones of a bear "couple" sitting next to each other looking into the distance saying "Simply put, we're happy here".  Well this weekend Matt took us on a lovely drive looking at fall colors and made a stop at a studio that had her work and I finally got my first piece!

I love it so much.  Now we need to find a nice simple frame for it and we'll stick it at the bottom of the stairs.  Until we move.  There are similar pieces to this but in one the setting is a sunset and another is the bears looking at a lake, all with the same phrase.  The sunset one and lake one are what we plan to purchase next and want to hang them in a row.  We'll probably wait for the next ones until we move though.  Blanche is super into bears now and I want to get her one for her room when we turn it into a big girl room.

Right now the website is under construction hopefully to build an awesome new one, but keep checking out suerowe.com to check out some of her work!  It's beautiful.  And also look up some of the galleries/studios that sell her work, I've seen a lot of good ones in stores that weren't on the website.  Hope you enjoy it!

Later!
