Frances thanks Mama Bear's Day Nursery for sponsoring her gorilla, and Burges Salmon who bought him at The Auction on 29 September 2011 for £6 500. I think he has gone to a good home!

Growing red

Two-tone Bert



Feet apart

After surgery
To make the pyjamas closer in colour to my original design and to the ceramic model, which is being made, I added another coat of a more transparent red.  The dusky pink looked soft and brush-cottony, but the slightly deeper red, although not so even, still looks like red pyjama fabric...if not quite so soft.

  3. Thanks, Mary. Neither can I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing how physically challenging painting a gorilla can be.

    Why did I choose a design that involves drawing over knees and under armpits???????????????
