About The Artwork
I love animals. I came across some royalty-free photos of baby orangutans and wanted to paint them because they create such a happy mood for me. I like to feel that my artwork adds to life in some way, and a number of people have told me that these two baby orangutan pictures make them smile. The fur is done in rich sienna shades, and the eyes are reflective and black. The adoring little eyes seem to be coaxing someone to trust them. This baby seems happy. The original painting is acrylic on stretched canvas with edges painted in the colors of the face of the painting. It is fitted with a hanging wire on the back. Due to the small size of the canvas, I signed it only with my initials.

United States
I am a Texas artist and have painted for most of my 71 years, being from a family of artists. My mother's youngest sister, aunt Patsy, spent a lot of time with me, guiding and encouraging me, and I credit her for my passion for art. She painted under the name of "von." When she died in August of 2018, I began placing "von" somewhere on the face of each painting as an acknowledgment of her role in my artistic endeavors. My inspirations come from my home environment in Texas. Things that I have taken for granted all my life are now frequent subjects for art. Mesquites, cactus, old barns and shacks, windmills, wooden fence posts, wildflowers and the like are favorite subjects. I am a colorist, and I enjoy using color to give new life to otherwise fading beauty. In addition to color, I strive for dimension, movement, depth and unusual perspective.
