Sorry to tell you that you are...wrong I always like monkeys, because they look...funny. I bought monkey stuffed toys for my children when they were small. And I always like the theme "mother and child". If you look at my gallery, there are already 2 "mother and child" paintings before this one, not to mention some... unfinished works of that same theme in the corner, waiting for me to resume Anyway, I like to paint monkeys and I was so happy when I first saw this [link] . Inspiration keeps coming after I painted the photo my son sent from Africa [link]
Re that request, seriously Kelli, just forget it and concentrate your energy on your own Inspiration. I'll still love you, as always, for your funny illustrations Aww, thanks for your comment

Beau travail Milbisous mais j'espère que tu ne m'en voudra pas de ne pas . Cela n'a rien à voir avec la qualité de ton travail mais plutôt avec le fait que je n'aime pas vraiment les singes C'est un peu comme quand j'avais fait la manipulation où quelqu'un était mort que que tu avais

Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais les singes me font peur

Hahaha ce que tu viens de me dire, me fait eclater de rire Oh oh, j'espere que tu ne penses pas que pour cette raison la que je ne commente pas sur des milliers de photos que tu as recemment postees
Enfin, ne t'en fais pas, ma chere. J'apprecie tout, meme si tu ne fais que...regarder puis Tandis que moi, je trouve les singes trop marrants et comme je suis fofolle, j'aime bien les dessiner

I admit I was worried about how to paint the fur. But to my surprise, it was quick and easy. Was I then lucky? Thank you for your nice comment

the eyes of both, mother and baby, are the first thing i sow.
they are cute!
the mother looking strait to my eyes, and her expression is like: "please dont hurt my baby!"
the baby's expression is: "coucou, can we play?"
the colors in their fur is realy nice!
its a good piece!! is it possible you did not care much about the background?
i know you can do better...and its looks like you was rushing. but maybe its so with water colors - that you need to do it fast?

milbisous In reply to WattsHanna [2007-12-06 17:44:16 +0000 UTC]

I fixed the background a bit, could you tell what I did?

WattsHanna In reply to milbisous [2007-12-06 20:08:07 +0000 UTC]

you took away some of the bush on the left side. and gave the gorilla more light arround her body, right?
its looking better now, because its less crowded with the plants there.
this way the gorilla and baby get "out to the front".[like to be a star on a stage]

You've got sharp eyes I almost poked a hole, scraping off the colors. But I like it better now

WattsHanna In reply to milbisous [2007-12-07 18:47:27 +0000 UTC]

i like it better now as well!
i try always to have lighter [or darker] its dependet if the subject rim is in a darker colors, then by paintin how you did now...like giving a light arround...you can see how its looking better. its like to separerad the subject from the backgroung with the lighter color. right?

milbisous In reply to WattsHanna [2007-12-07 19:41:32 +0000 UTC]

Yes, light and dark are very important in works of art. I'm still learning and each time I get it, I'm so happy

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

WattsHanna In reply to milbisous [2007-12-07 20:14:06 +0000 UTC]

the light is the thing that gives the 2 or 3 diamention.
i all ways try to remember it when painting.
i am learning too, all the time!

You always see something when looking at a piece of work. When I finished this work, I had wanted to name it...What are you looking at, due to the mother monkey's eyes looking at me But I was not sure if the question mark (?) would be ok to use in title. Anyway, I'm not quite happy about my background. I had wanted just plain blue sky for back ground, and it would have been even faster. But my dirty fingers stained the background, so I was forced to "grow trees" Thanks for always seeing more when looking at my works You're my Inspiration. Thanks for all the encouragements and the art links to give me Inspiration

there is no low by calling your artwork by any title you wish, with ? and ! waht ever you feel like! its your art work, and you do with it what you want.
you always giving your subjects meaningful expressions, just as this one... and thats whats making your work more interesting beside your talent!
thats the negative things about water colors...that if you make dirt on the paper you force to paint something else that you was planing.
thanks for the sweet complimants!

Aww you misunderstood my words, I did not mean DA did not allow the title I had in mind. It's just the computer system does not accept some marks like question mark (?), exclamation mark (!). So any title with such marks will appear sans marks. Thank you for your kind words always, I have been lucky with expressions, for I did not do anything special to achieve expressions I love this emoticon, for it really describes what I've been doing since I...woke up

you mean, if i like to title my work with a question mark, its wont appear on the loading new deviations?
i love this emotion too. its so funny! i can see you there typing as this one
you are always welcome milbisous!

The title will appear, but the marks won't. Maybe I do look like this just like I've told you my husband had said I looked...funny, because I typed and I smiled by myself. And I said I was typing to === YOU
