Oil on canvas panel, 18×24 in
A mother orangutan carries her baby on her back, his small hand resting against her cheek. Set against a lush, atmospheric green, this is a quiet portrait of protection and trust — the kind of bond that needs no translation. The most demanding painting I've made to date, and the one closest to my heart.
