CHillieCHillie the polar bear

NEW! CHillie has a coloring book all her own!

Meet CHillie, my NEW favorite nine foot polar bear (who doubles as a bench!) The theme I created is Bearly Chestnut Hill, featuring lots of weird little scenes in the neighborhood...and beyond.

Here's a short photo film on my blog of the process of painting CHillie.

I painted my first polar bear, Seemore, in 2006 for the first AbZOOlutely Chestnut Hill project. You can meet Seemore and see his work-in-progress here.
