Honesty and Purity

My goal was to capture honesty and purity.  The only way I could think of doing that was with children and animals.  These 20 paintings were created over the last five years.  I did them because they make me feel good. When I show them to others, they always smile.  I want people to laugh and feel good when they see them. Children especially like them.  I found all the images from the internet then drew and painted them my way.
