Artwork Description

I found this cute sock monkey in a vintage shop and just knew I had to paint him. I grew up making creatures such as these from socks with my Mum and have since done the same with my daughter. None of mine however were as exquisitely finished as this fellow. This quirky artwork would look great in a fun modern space or would sit equally well in a child's room. He was painted from life.
