One of the most famous, smaller and much loved of Doug's earlier limited editions, we have 'Tender Love And Care,' with gorgeous red hues and our hero carrying a giant Sunflower to its new garden home!
This is also from a Set of 4 (or 5 depending on your take) of same size limited editions...more on this later!
With crimson tones combined with vibrant reds portraying the mood and stigma attached to love, Hyde shows the special attention and care one takes in symbols or objects, in this case it's a sunflower.
Struggling to keep a balance and baring the weight of the object, this little character isn't about to admit defeat easily portraying the tenderness of his love and care.
The warm yellows stand out brilliantly against the redness of the background and it is with these subtle recognitions for his images that drive's Hyde's creative process.
One of the largest and most impressive of Doug's highly collectable series of Bronzes - this could also be the heaviest lol, unless we give that to 'Looking After Love - Bronze.'
So, in addition to the wonderful limited edition print (of the same name!), Hyde has recreated his art in Bronze sculpture, to add yet another twist on the brilliant image.
Determined to balance his Sunflower, the figure arches his back to balance the object and takes special care and attention not to let go!
Created in bronze, this sculpture is a brilliant standalone piece and is a fantastic addition to Doug's current series of limited edition art!
