"Baby Bear" 2001
Acrylic on canvas 20" x 16"

This is a piece about children's propensity to try and behave like adults. From dress-up to cops and robbers, much of a child's make-believe play takes its cues from the grown-up world. Here, above a banner that screams "Hey! Look at me!" is the baby bear, riding a unicycle, wearing a bowler hat and smoking a cigar.
