Original artwork description:

The inspiration for this painting is from a trip to Ometepe Island in Lake Nicaragua. The Howler Monkeys that live there are impressive with their deep voices and obvious command. The ancient religion of the island celebrated the relationship between man and his animal neighbors. The totem sculptures they created combined traits of human and animal. The painting is signed on the back and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Materials used:

oil paint on 12 oz. cotton duct canvas stretched over a 1.5"x 2" wooden frame, acrylic base primer
