It's been a while since I picked up my brushes, but my dear friend Mo was so keen on getting a Laura Original, preferably depicting his favorite animal, that I temporarily diverged from my appliance theme and created the above piece (with a little research and help from images.google.com). Added inspiration came from work as I was filling out the paperwork to bring on a contractor named Manning Man. Although most likely hated by his parents, he has a very memorable name, and one that I would definitely assign to a manatee, had I the opportunity to do so.
By the way, when doing this painting, I had to fight the almost uncontrollable urge to paint a little Hitler mustache on him. Wouldn't that be cute and horrible all at once?
