What do you see when you look at this bear?

The pattern of the stone reminds me of the hanging Spanish moss in the Deep South of the USA. I can feel the heat and humidity. I yearn for a cold glass of iced tea and a game of croquet.

Isn't that what good art does for us? It sends us to a place or time in our imagination. 

I would want to have this piece because every time I look at it I am transported to an exotic place.

And also, this is a zany little carving by a talented and imaginative artist.

A whimsical little bear you can add to your family of "Small" bears.
