Colorful Animals Oil Painting

Rays of sunshine translated into oil paintings.

Lithuanian Artist Gabriela Elgaafary creates joyful illustrations, like the ones in this post.

They would be perfect characters for children's books. Not only are the forms of the animals perfect for it, they seem to have had a fantasy makeover. The warm, resplendent colors, coupled with their brilliance, gives me that impression of being in a lovely summer's morning. The sun paints the landscape to give each detail, the best possible lighting, with a smooth blending tool that softens the edges.

All we need to complete the picture are: some great stories to go with them and a multitude of exited children, impatiently waiting for the fable to be read to them...

    1. Hopefully Elgaafary can find a writer that can match her skills as a painter and give all these characters, fantastic stories to live in.

      And while we are on the subject of fantasy, hope you have a fantastic day. 🌿️🌺️🌿️

  2. What a adorable and appealing departure from the recent art collections. Each and every one made me SMILE! I especially appreciate the "side eyes"Gabriela Elgaafary gives all her characters. This is my favorite of all the collections I've seen.

    1. I know what you mean about the eyes; at fist I thought they didn't have pupils, then noticed that they are pushed to the side. It gives them such a sweet expression.

      Really glad you like so much.
      Take care. 🌿️🌺️🌿️
