As a relaxing retreat from the daily grind, Marisa Haedike set aside Thursdays to paint. But a single day couldn’t contain her talent, so Marisa launched Creative Thursdays, an online gallery of irresistible acrylic paintings. Printed on archival fine art paper with a matte finish, each work features sweetly whimsical characters you’ll love in an instant. Curious penguins, cheerful monkeys, and even a thoughtful lion rest against pure, lush backgrounds. They’ll catch your eye and capture your heart. Thank goodness this gifted artist quit her day job.
