A Heroes Parade in the Hundred Acre Wood! A celebration of friends: Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, are shouldered and cheered by Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Christopher Robin, and Tigger too. Aren"t friends the true heroes, those who sacrifice to make others" lives better? They don"t count the cost. They just do without thought and often even avoid the recognition.
Pooh saved Piglet, Piglet saves Owl, and the good acts keep going. We see the group assisting each other along the way – each rooting the others on. It is a wonderful world of examples of friendship we see in the youthful world of Christopher Robin. "Hip hip, hurray for the Piglet and the Pooh!"
My high school Art teacher, Rudy Gunter, is my hero. With his skills he could have sculpted for the wealthy. He could have done anything in the sculpture world. Instead he chose to sculpt young artists, changing the lives of thousands. He mentored and helped me in ways transcending just a teacher. Rudy was in my thoughts as I painted this scene.
This image of the Heroes Parade gives us a chance to review the heroes in our lives; our friends, those that make a difference and may not even know it. Friends do what they do because they want to, not out of obligation. They do because they are friends. We should hold Heroes Parades for all the special friends in our lives and let them know.

Eric Dowdle
Eric Dowdle grew up in the western United States as one of 12 children, with many childhood stories reflected in his artwork—from chickens in mailboxes to boys surprising moms with neighbor's flowers. After moving to Boston, he developed a fascination with folk art that combined his values, love of people, and storytelling ability. Today, Eric and his wife Deb live on a farm in Lindon, Utah, by the Wasatch Mountains, which he calls "my favorite place on earth."
Eric has been creating art for nearly three decades, popularizing a new genre of story-telling art filled with fun and humor. As both a sketch artist and fine-art painter, he's one of only a few artists licensed to paint iconic Disney storybook characters. His travels worldwide have inspired paintings of popular destinations like Rome and Paris alongside hidden gems like Frankenmuth, Michigan and Stowe, Vermont. He says, "It's the people that make a place or event unforgettable. I find it a thrill to celebrate people's experiences by putting their stories into my paintings."
Eric's paintings are treasure hunts filled with Easter eggs, pop-culture references, and vibrant humor, featuring his signature fluffy clouds and sculptured mountains. His collection of over 300 paintings has been converted into premium products like puzzles and prints, selling over one million puzzles annually through major retailers. His hope is that whether gazing at a masterpiece or building a puzzle, people will be flooded with joyful memories and passion to make more.
