On top of a white dresser, the following objects are collected. In the foreground: a cube-shaped bank made of metal with the letters A and B visible on its sides. A bottle of Johnson's baby powder. A single, blue sneaker, laces untied. A red mouse doll sitting on a fake mousetrap with fake cheese. A picture frame that spells 'Our Baby' with a picture of a dark-haired baby inside of the 'O'. In the background are a small white teddy-bear with a bib that has 'I LOVE YOU' written on it, a ceramic clown doll in red and white, two colorful clown dolls made of cloth and yarn, and a brown teddy-bear with a dark brown ribbon around its neck. An aluminum balloon on a stick is between them.

Teddy and Friends

1986 Watercolor on Paper. 36" x 32"

This painting was made the year I was born and “Teddy” was *my* teddy-bear. It looks like that’s me in the “Our Baby” picture frame as well. Keen-eyed archive-viewers will recognize the porcelain clown doll from Clownish Reflection.
