Oh, Estelle, those are awesome!  Did you do any digital modifications, or did you simply shoot the bears in front of those life-size paintings?

Very nice!  And what wonderful atmosphere it allows for, in your shots.  Terrific!

I stood the painting which is 34" wide on a table and laid fabric in font and clicked away,
I did freshen the colours in paintshop after though, I am so glad some likes them. The boat is sailing on a blue bath towel you can tell if you look closely  bear_grin

Wow- I'm SO impressed with your creativity, Estelle!!  You need to DO something with the photos . . . postcards, notecards, mousepads, etc.!

Estelle, I think they make WONDERFUL backdrops and really tell a story.  It is really nice to see something other than the usual backgrounds.  Very very nice!

Sue Ann, you got me thinking, I have made some of my photos into key saver boards, here are some examples but they havent got the hooks on yet. The one of the puppy will have one hook for a lead and one for keys, it's is a gift for the puppys owner. A very kind lady who helps organize our charity fairs.

What a superb promotional idea for those who love bears but don't need or want or can't afford any more teddies at the moment.  I might have to borrow this idea, Estelle... is that okay?
