Blue Monkey

I have always enjoyed  our distant cousins at the Zoo. I always make it a point to visit the primates as they seem to possess an intelligence similar to our own, and seemingly more than some people I have met. They do more than just casually glance at us as many animals do; they will look directly into your eyes as though they are somehow trying to communicate something.

Anyhow, here is another watercolor from a photo taken at the Phoenix Zoo.

First of all, let me borrow a line from the Grateful Dead...what a long strange trip its been. I grew up in Appalachia, not far from Wheeling, West Virginia. I decided at seventeen that working in the coal mines was not for me and soon found myself standing at an on-ramp with my thumb out. It was the Sixties and adventure beckoned. I'm a self taught artist, primarily focusing on the natural world. I enjoy painting the flora and fauna of this beautiful planet. I currently live in Arizona, and most of my recent works reflect the inhabitants of the Sonoran desert.
