Animals of Oz #5: Bear Center

My daughter, Lana’s, favorite stuffed animal has always been a pink bear since she could understand what she was holding.  Her final addition to the Animals of Oz series focuses on the Bears of Bear Center in Oz.  These are toy stuffed bears run by the Lavender Bear king and his adviser the Little Pink Bear.

On the back of the painting she wanted a quote by L. Frank Baum.  It reads: “Time is given for us to be happy and for no other reason.  When we waste time, we waste happiness.”
