8″x10″ acrylic, 2011. The boy who loves this pair of toys had quite a challenging start to his life! Born at 24 weeks after a pre-eclampsia event, his mother had barely begun to put together his nursery. She had just purchased this Zubel’s hand-knit blue monster the weekend before. After the birth, amidst the avalanche of presents from friends and family, the monster remained the baby’s only special gift from Mama. Now a year old, he is thriving! This portrait will be a gift for the baby’s mother from her friend Allisyn. This green plastic teether is also so well-liked that his mother bought one just like it for Allisyn’s own baby!

She loved it! Thank you again, so much. It looked exactly like his toys and of course his Mom teared up!
One of the best presents I’ve ever given. 🙂
