Best Friends Forever by Doug Hyde

Sometimes muddled with the (mostly) black & white limited edition print called 'Best Friends' (2020).

'Let's make a pact to be friends forever and promise to always keep it' are the heart-warming words you hear the child say, when you look at Doug's lovely new limited edition and they are engulfed in love from their: Llama, Pink Flamingo, Teddy Bear & Unicorn toys!

A child is huddled in between their teddy bear & other, see the Doug Hyde - Plush Toys Collection, in a beautiful arrangement but the question remains: which ones are real and which are stuffed ones? Hmmm.

There is a certain magic about this latest limited edition with subtle golden colours for the lama's fur and soothing subtle pinks and blues on the flamingo & the unicorn.

Isn't Mr. Ted dressed beautifully? in a lovely polka dot red and pink top, you can just make out it matches the child's red clothes too!

Just maybe it's the same Teddy Bear from the super popular 'In Your Arms - Sculpture' from a few years ago - or at least his smaller cousin!

This release is both part of the ongoing Doug Hyde Plush Toys - Collection and the best selling Doug Hyde Colours Of Love - Collection from Summer 2018.

Roll up, Roll up for all the fun of the fair! As a childlike human character poses for a group 'photo,' with all her favourite toys.

You can almost imagine a cartoon series based on the many adventures the five characters have, as they travel around the world, with Doug painting them at various stop offs!

The background is a soothing soft grey with ivory tonnes and the ground is painted a warm, almost chocolate coloured brown; instantly the figures become the centre of your attention as...

...you imagine the comfort and joy the little child will gain for years to come having the toys to cuddle with - as well as the magical adventures, if Doug decides to paint them!

I can't wait to see this gang on a new adventure, come on Doug release a follow up please, hehe.
