• Who'd have thought that Walt Disney would give me permission to use their famous Winnie the Pooh image!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Magical things seem too happen on the journey of an artists life, the day I was given permission by 'The Walt Disney Corporation' to use their images of Winnie the Pooh, back in 2013, was no exception.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was allowed to use an outline of Winnie the Pooh repeated over and over again in my Pop Art Bear paintings.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These paintings represent the story of Winnie the Pooh and how AA Milne was inspired by his son, Christopher Robin, to write the story when he visited London Zoo and fell in love with a Bear called Winnie in the 1930's.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This, in turn, lead to Walt Disney creating the famous cartoon of Winnie the Pooh.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was happy with the way my paintings became more 3D as you stood back from them, not being able to see the outline of Winnie the Pooh at all, but when you get closer, dancing and smiling Winnies become clear repeated over and over again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I mustn't forget to mention Ruby who is posing as a bear in front of my paintings. Doesn't she look gorgeous! Always so happy to pose!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The prints start from £350. If you are interested in buying please DM me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Joanna May Gallery⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 16 Northgate Street⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Devizes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wiltshire⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ SN10 1JL
