Reclaimed teddy by isle of wight artist veronica grimm


Along the far end of Sandown lies Culver Cliff around a mile and half from the pier,
It is at this location in the fallen rock debris that you can find 100 million year old ammonites, but because Sandown beach is also a storm beach, washed and caught up in the boulders you can find some interesting potential arty things!!!
On this day I found a bedraggled teddy bear and a seal bone, with a little ingenuity I put the two together and revamped the teddy. Then as you do I made a conceptual painting, 8 x 6 inches acrylic on canvas. Teddy approx 10 inches tall. again painted in acrylic.
