Seal of Approval Painting

This baby seal has boundless joy, and is so happy to see you. One of the reasons I create expressive animal portraits is to connect with people and bring that moment of joy to their lives. In a world that can feel so hopeless and terrifying, the need for beauty and laughter is  medicine. Creating art that makes you feel good is an important and worthy cause. Happiness is worth taking seriously, and if you smiled even a little while looking at this painting, my work here is complete.
