+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"Every childhood has its special friendships-and though youthful
friends may come and go, a favorite doll or stuffed bear can become a
lifelong companion.
My painting A Trusted Friend celebrates the imagination of childhood
which can make even an inanimate object come to life with love. This
is my first ever teddy bear painting, and as I worked on it I was
reminded of the passion displayed by teddy bear collectors worldwide.
These collectors remind us that even for adults a teddy bear can be A
Trusted Friend, and perhaps my painting will be a daily reminder of
this happy fact. I even added a special touch: you can have your
choice of a pink ribbon for girl bears or a blue one for boy bears.
That way, your very own "trusted friend" can be even more personal to you!"
