Monkeying Around

In the workshop with Pilar Pobil (see earlier post) I created a beautiful frame. It only took a couple of days of that frame sitting empty in my studio for me to get the urge to create something fun and unique to go in it. A funky portrait of my siamese cat Monkey was just the thing. So I sat down on a Tuesday night and began. I took a little break to go play an indoor soccer game, then quickly came back to finish it up. After getting it in the frame, this was the first of my paintings to go on my wall.
