A Story for Teddy
Painting #054 · December 9, 2025
Original acrylic on canvas
It's a silent, snowy night, and the biggest lesson of Christmas is being shared. This painting captures the moment a child points up at the star atop the tree, explaining the real story of Christmas to his faithful companion, Teddy. It's about wonder, meaning, and the purpose found through Christmas. The idea here is that the child is explaining the true, foundational story of Christmas — what that star really represents — to their quiet, furry listener. It's a moment of wonder, contemplation, and sharing the deeper reason of the season. I hope it brings a bit of that silent, snowy wonder into your day! The snow is falling, the stars are bright, and it's the perfect night for a little storytelling. What does the star mean to you?
