Puffy, Chicka Chicka, Chicki Chicki

9″x12″ acrylic, 2011. Although I adore bunnies and bears, this trio of unlikely bird friends was such a delight for me to paint! Puffy, Chicka Chicka, and Chicki Chicki have been the favorite companions of Bharathi’s daughter, who is now ten, since she was six. Bharathi writes, “It’s pretty adorable to see her in her airplane seat with these stuffies tucked under her arms (especially ’cause she’s a mature looking 10 and prone to reading things like “A history of ancient Britain.”) The contrast reminds me that even when she seems really grown up, she’s still a kid.” At one point, a proposed back-up Chicka Chicka was dismissed by her daughter as being “pretty much like suggesting we get a back-up brother.” Well put!

10×12″ acrylic on canvas 2009 — Around here we love Japanese design, including pop-culture characters such as Domo-kun. So here is our tiny wind-up Domo along with a penguin bath toy and a fat stuffed chicken. Can’t you just feel the situation comedy chemistry between them? You know that the chicken is the Newman, the penguin is Jerry, and Domo is probobly George.

This painting arrives wired for hanging and framed simply in pine.
