I am working on some fun Watercolour Commissions this week...but took a little break to create for PPF this week...and my Client for this fun piece was my little son Cole...I asked him what he would like Mommy to paint when he went to bed and he was so sweet....he handed me his Sock Monkey Friend....Sparky ( whom he always has with him) and said Mommy take him and paint me a picture of him....so I did this and will show Cole over Breakfast before school today....I hope he loves this painting and I hope you all love it too....to see more amazing paintings pop by Paint Party Friday.....
Here is Cole with a fun mask I created....in Sock Monkey Spirit....
and I just created this illustration this morning ....another piece inspired by Cole and his Sock Monkey Sparky for Illustration Friday this week....the theme is "Asleep" and I love watching him sleep all safe and sound....
Happy Friday Everyone!!!

How sweet of Coal to allow you the monkey (this is a biggy as mum's know) Moley went every where with my little boy and he even went with him when he moved out recently ;0)
ReplyDeleteI love sock monkeys, and you've created such cute, fun images with them! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteAwww! So sweet! I'm sure Cole will love your Sock Monkey portrait!
ReplyDeleteawww and lol - funny and totally cute :)
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SOCK MONKEY...my grandkids all of one in some version. I would also love to see a step by step on how you do your work. The backgrounds are so beautiful - do you only use watercolors or do you use ink too?
ReplyDeleteCole is so cute!!!
cheers, dana
How adorable is cole with his mask on. I love your painting and I am sure he will as well. It is so nice to see that there are still children who love their sock monkey, I know I loved mine and that was over 50 years ago.
ReplyDeletelovely, the photo with the monkey mask is really cute.
ReplyDeleteOOOh sooo adorable. Yes everyone just loves sock monkeys, me included. My daughter even has a sock monkey footie pajama, and she is an adult! :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your sock monkey painting! I'm sure Cole did too. I've never outgrown my love for them. My husband recently brought me one home from one of his business trips. ;)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see Sock Monkey in your special style.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful illustration - I love watching my son sleep too - can never resist a little kiss on the cheek!
What a sweet sock monkey painting! I am sure he just loved it!
ReplyDeleteDiana, these are so adorable! He and your drawings are adorable! :)
