“You’re turning violet, Violet!” kept going through my head during my Chickeymonkey’s purple portrait painting session today. Of course the moment I completed Caitlin’s yesterday, she was right beside me saying “paint me NOW.” She couldn’t wait to be purple! And now, she is my little purple Chickeymonkey.
This is the final portrait in this series of six oil paintings for my exhibit. I’ve got quite a lot of work to do yet, but it does feel good to have this whole concept finally down on canvas to giggle over. It’s a happy series, playful – joyful – colorful kids. Here they all are in my studio together:
I hope they bring a smile to your face, too!

You know seeing them all done brings it all together.
Of course I am partial to ours….you really captured the bug and the monkey.
I love um honey :good:
Love You
OMG there’s my baby chickiemonkey!!!! Awwww just as perfect as Caitybug :dance: Happy days! I can’t believe you painted all that this week WHOAH!!! :yahoo:
I figured out why my post in my blog wasn’t showing, for some reason “private” got clicked DUH me! :yahoo:
I have one question: is chickiemonkey out of her floral blue jammies yet? :rofl: :lovestruck:
Oh… those are fabulous! Especially all together like that… so expressive and captivating. Wouldn’t it be cool if you were to do the same thing with some elderly people? All the wrinkles and sags captured in those vibrant colors? Hmmm… Oh I wish I could do what you do!
:jawdrop: i love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! These are so cool. I could just keep looking at the screen. They just make me happy!
Thanks for showing us!!!!!
Ya Know Leanne, this is my favorite, the purple one… course all are wonderful. I think it is pretty cool that your range is so vast… I look at art all the time on line and I see some artists that paint only one or two things. I’m always interested in what you come up with whether it is pet portraits, people, animals, photography, etc. How long does it take you to paint one of those monochromatic portaits of the children? Just curious. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and your work, it is always such a treat. ~~~~Sue
:thanku: :cheerful:
Aww you guys are so sweet! Sue – I’m glad I keep surprising you. You know how I feel about being repetitive, it may be good for some people, but my gut tells me there’s more, so I just go where it leads me!
This whole series is just so smiley. I hope that everyone who passes it by on exhibit gets a good giggle. 🙂
They are gorgeous! I love the color and the texture and I just love it! Great paintings. :good:
