Squirrel Monkey's Jungle

Squirrel Monkey's Jungle I loved doing this painting for a number of reasons. I love the monkey, they are fast delightful, naughty and playful. Any being that delights in being a bit naughty deserves protecting. They are not without defences though. Those teeth of theirs can deliver quite the bites. The second reason I love this painting is that I fractured the jungle colors and feeling into geometric shape and then fit the monkey right in. I can see that this is how a squirrel monkey would see things, as they move with such speed that they would have to break down their vision in broad shapes as they passed by on their fun time. Robin
