Today my hubby took an Olive Baboon in his lunch bag.

Ohhh the eyes make me want to reach out and comfort her and hold her close.
Thank you, Carol! It was that quality in the reference photo that drew me in and I’m glad I was able to catch it in the painting.
Oh my gosh, look at those plaintive eyes. He has a piercing gaze, I can only imagine what this handsome boy is thinking. A beautiful portrait, so well done, Sandra. Can I be your hubby for a day? I can provide my own lunch bag.
Lol! Sorry, I’ve had this hubby for 37 years now and I’m to used to him to take on anyone else. Thank you for the compliment!
