Monkey Portrait : Beethoven
completed in August, 2005
Size: 12×12
Medium: Oil Pastel Painting
Notes: A fingerpainting monkey painting in oil pastel. This Cotton-Top Tamarin Monkey has been the source of many smiles since his creation!
Soft, fluffy fur on the top of his head, these guys fit into the palm of your hand – and he looked like Beethoven to me so that’s what I named him. I met him at a zoo in Louisiana just before my husband left for Iraq.
