Monkey business

Umagaan 14 Apr 2021

One more African landscape. Once it's dry I'll add two monkeys getting to know each other on the rightside tree. Then the title of the painting will make more sense. I had fun painting this. Love the blending and painting branches.

Beautiful sky! Can't wait to see the monkeys!

make sure to post again with the monkeys. Sky is gorgeous.

Thank you both 😁
Actually now I'm thinking that there might be a perfect place for a leopard in that tree... 🤔

Haha, a leopard would be great too! Let your imagination run wild!

Very nice! Love the sky and those trees!!

Love your work I think your African landscapes are beautiful. I also look forward to seeing how you do a leopard or monkey as well. Prior to painting my art was limited to stick figures :). I would love to learn how to paint in animals. I saw a Ross episode on adding people but they were pretty embedded into the background. I guess it would come down to practice for me. One of these days:). Excellent work!

Dellajoy thank you 😁

Happyisland thanks for your nice words 😁 I must say I'm not comfortable with painting silhouettes at all. So I first find a suitable silhouette on the internet, then I draw it into the painting with a pencil and only then I paint it in. It's quite a lot of work but I think the animals really bring these paintings alive.

The leopard tried to eat the monkey but it managed to escape 🤔🐒

I love them both! They bring it all together and the painting couldn't have been better!
