olive tree + happy bear

{i think this bear might be one of my faves (after wall-e of course:) but there's something about this little fuzzy guy that makes me smile... maybe the fact that he's smiling? i'm gearing up for the children's book illustrations so i drew this bear with some emotion - to test the waters - and i can already tell that it's going to be so fun to draw animal characters with cute facial expressions. :)}
