Sentient 4.5 x 2.5"

Here's the first miniature of the year! I found this guy at the Lincoln Zoo. He was sitting at the top of this rock pile in a single beam of sunlight. He knew he was breathtaking and regal. That's why I titled it "Sentient". I think this ape knows he's of royal lineage! Now on to something a bit more colorful to chase the January blues away!

Wonderful! I really admire anyone that can do such terrific miniatures.

Thank you Vicki! This guy was fun to do. He had such a dignified stance about him...despite his humiliating pink chin!

Wow... what a challenge. So much detail in so little space! You're amazing Mary Jansen. Great work!

Mary Jansen said...

Jean! Thanks for stopping by! And thanks for the nice comments! We northerners have to keep ourselves busy in all this gloomy, snowy weather. I'd give a right arm to walk on one of your balmy beaches right now! (Well...maybe a left arm...I kind of need my right for painting...)

Mary, love seeing your work. Hey girl, how come no followers showing on your blog. I'd add my name in a minute!!!

Thanks Vera! I'm slow when it comes to techy things...I don't really know about "followers". Maybe you are right and I need to investigate this! Thanks for the kick in the pants!
