Shoutout to Jananee Dhalapathy | |

"I had a tough couple of weeks, but I am now back with another painting, the Portrait of the Monkey Jax. I fell in love with the painting when you first revealed it to us on YouTube live. I took my time to watch the lesson before trying.
"I had an awesome time painting this. My nephew is staying here with us for his holiday he absolutely loved seeing the monkey emerge. It's such a powerful portrait, my mom loves the painting too; she even told me she likes this one above all of my paintings. Jax is a big hit in my home 🙌🥰🤗
"I want to thank you so very much for giving us this opportunity. I hope you like my painting 🖌️🎨. As usual, my phone picked up the orange tones a lot, but in real, it's more saturated. Looking forward to hearing from you."
