Such a pleasure to do a sweet little painting of Monkey. These 8x8 oil paintings are fun, quick and expressive. My most favorite way to paint pets is to really focus on the face and the beautiful unique features of fur, eyes and whiskers. Monkey was a purrfect subject.

Pretty little Sadie Mae made it to my easel this past week. I love her expression and big round greens eyes. The cropped composition of this 8x10 painting was fun for me to paint.
