Self Revelation

Hi There! Last week I had a lovely family who had been to Ted Coney's Family Portraits before, and this time requested my 'Puppets and Dolls' tour. I rehearsed it well, as I had not done this one before, particularly the introduction. I trotted out the reasons why I sometimes used puppets or dolls instead of people in my paintings about the family. Suddenly, out popped something I had not rehearsed or even thought about before I said it. I revealed that the only two dolls (two teddy bears, infact) I had as a child, 'disapeared' when I was five years old.
Having said that, there arn't any sad looking bears in my paintings - yet.
I'll keep you posted Ted
