I have completed my stuffed animal series. Yay! They are cute and cuddly and nursery ready:) The monkey is near and dear to my heart. Steven's first stuffed animal was that monkey. At our house he is named Max monkey, he has a theme song and everything! It was great to paint him. We don't have the elephant, I think maybe Alabama is rubbing off on me, I painted the elephant and put him on a crimson background without even realizing the Crimson Tide connection. So I'm going to affectionately call that painting Big Al. The brown bear is just as cute as he can be. He really pops on his blue background. The blue paintings didn't show up as well in the photos than in real life. These little guys have been fun to paint. I will post a group shot when they dry a little bit.

Steven did another beautiful painting. I love his palette. He did almost a stippling technique on his canvas, very creative!!

  2. Those are darling! And they look like so much fun. I love that bear. I was thinking of doing something similar for my son's room.

    Steven's painting is fabulous, he's a master for his age :)

  3. Forget the age. Steve's painting has wonderful panache, fantastic colour sense, vigorous impasto the reminds me of Frank Auerbach. Wow!
