Hi! 
So I've been making little videos. If you ever watch stuff on YouTube please come and subscribe to my channel. Patti Backer  Give me feedback too and thumbs up would be amazing. These first tries are tiny....but I'm working on more detailed projects. I have so many ideas. Thank you so much! 

Hellllloooooo!
Hi everybody! Happy Summer! I hope you are having a wonderful time. 
If you have ever wanted a folk art, low brow, HAPPY PatriciaFish and you aren't nearby...now is your chance. I'm finishing up a new school and I'm going to load them into my Etsy shop. I'll let you know exactly when here. Probably Friday. I will also be adding all of my available original paintings. All of my cards are available on my website www.PatriciaMonkey.com in the shop section...actually just up above ^ at the top of this page.

Happy 2015!

Hi! Better late than ever. I wanted to share my first painting of the year with you. Nest Under the Sea is for a group show that opens tonight at The Globe here in town. The show is titled Medium and there's some really great local art. I'm still recovering from the flu, so I'm not sure I'll be there, but go and have fun! It'll be a good party.

Octopus and Birds

This is a commission I did a week ago. A birthday present for a sister of a friend. I hope she likes it! I had a lot of fun painting it. Happy birthday Amy B!

2014!

Happy happy new year!
We here at PatriciaMonkey wish you a happy and creative year to come.

There is a Whale in the Garden

I just finished a new painting. It will be on display at The Rehoboth Art League through August.
I love the idea of things being askew and a whale in the garden is just that. He's not sure how he got there....but he likes it and so do all the garden creatures. Thank you so much for looking at my work.

i just received this in my comments and LOVE it!
it's by fellow artist poppylocke and really it's just perfect.
i thought i would put it up here......

On the night of the celebration,

The creatures got to wish.

The night-birds called to the ocean

For the bones of long-dead fish.

The octopus wished to fly,

When the stars and moonlight shone,

Like a pink balloon in the sky

To the tune of the night-birds' song.
