For The Past 32 Years I Have Been Painting Bears

Thank you. The thing is I write, aswell as paint, so do not very often work with other authors. These days I write for other illustrators too as i write faster than I paint.

So glad that it soothes. I try to paint beauty, but the world can be so dark.

I've made a whole book, called Something About a Bear. And I have a Spectacled Bear called Mary who works with me sometimes. Have a look at this: http://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/gallery/2014/nov/22/jackie-morris-how-to-draw-a-panda-bear and also this: http://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/gallery/2014/jul/28/how-to-join-a-library-in-pictures Mary was made by Celestine and the Hare. Look her up on google. She makes wonderful creatures.

Oh those are always so unusual with such rich detail. Just looked up this year's - a lute player in the snow! Love it. Will look out for that post.
