The liberating thing about abstract art? Absence of "pressure" associated with trying to capture a likeness. All that remains....is a relationship with canvas. e.g. In the case of this "splosh" 😋 ! #acrylicpainting #acrylics #scottishart #monkeys #monkeyartists #acryliconboard #liquitexacrylics

This was the "big cousin" version....a WIP to be returned to in due course 😊

It's actually only on a 7" x 5" board.....whereas it has a "larger cousin" on much bigger canvas. The latter, however, remains a 'work in progress'.

A new painting: "I Dream....Of Daisy".
It's a field of Daisies and Forget Me Nots.
I hope Daisy likes it.......

This afternoon Francis has mostly been painting small, white cornflowers. Bruce has mainly been on "banana protection" duty.....

Francis started a new abstract painting. Then he felt a bit hungry. As usual, he readily found a volunteer to help him eat his Jelly Babies.

So....Francis decided to add some last, minor embellishments to his painting "Just After The Big Bang". Apparently he wanted to "emphasise the crackling van de Graaf generator effect".

Introducing the Pigtato. Possibly created to entertain a small child....
Given that my brain resembles that of a small child, I enjoyed the experience.

Something of a difference of opinion regarding attire for today between the native Scottish monkeys (t shirts on, deck chair out) and the incomers (woolly hats etc)....

I got in and these chaps were looking very pleased with themselves...and want lunch. I told them their painting is Too Wee. I keep telling them that galleries want Big Stuff but they say their arms are too short to do anything larger. #abstractart #acrylicpainting #acrylics #monkey #scottishart

Meet the Team #3:
This is Brian. He is frequently confused and worries about his art 🎨 a lot. He is prone to bouts of depression but enjoys working with his friends in the studio. Brian also likes bananas 🍌
