PAINTING OF BEAR......BY DIANE BERNARD

CJ'S MUM......DIANE BERNARD, painted this from some photos I sent to her of Bear..........this is from the email she sent me to see if I liked it...............OMG...........how could you not............Cant wait to see it in Real Life.........thank you thank you thank you Diane.

it looks so like the old man...amazing...as you say, an extremely talented lady...I know it will get the place of honour in the bunkhouse, to greet all comers...just as he always did...

What a lovely tribute. I've never met Bear, but the painted eyes have quite the life to them, and the expression is so happy and sweet. I can only imagine what he was like in life.

That is just lovely.............will be tears when you see that in the bunkhouse !!!!!

what a fitting reminder of the great Bear. She has really captured the warm look of his eyes that I remember so well when the pancakes disappeared!

he was just as fast with a whole dozen donuts one day.......ed took them out of the car and placed them on the deck, by the time ed walked up the stairs........the whole box was empty........thistle.....if Ed could have caught him that day...........hahahaha........I remember the pancake stealing day..............MEMORIES......... :cowboyhound.gi

Awww, what a sweet thing to have. <3

I'm going to hang it right inside the door where the mirror is now, so he can GREET everyone just like he used to.......I love it. :cowboyhound.gi
