The Artful Monkey

Advertisements



Kongo swung over to the La Jolla Arts Festival today to ratchet up his culture meter.  He’s been supervising a condo renovation for the past few weeks and was getting so tired of watching grout dry, listening to Mexican music on the crew radio,  and reading new appliance installation manuals.  Besides, monkeys don’t read instructions until after it doesn’t work like its supposed to and then it’s a chore to even find the right papers and what is so hard about installing a dishwasher anyway?  Enough of that…Kongo needed an art fix.

Nothing linke a barbed wire behind to get a monkey’s mind to wander…
Stone on stone. A colorful fish.
Sunflowers on a sunny day. The color just popped on this acrylic painting
Chalk art. Kongo liked the apples…
