Peter Jones does oil paintings of plush monkeys. Seen here, "Dirty Orange Monkey" (2005), Oil on Linen, 12 x 10 inches. From Jones's biography at Fred [London] Ltd gallery:

We all love monkeys, especially the younger, cheekier ones who are so much fun and always full of life. Deeply sensitive and very bright, they are always alert and interested in their surroundings even when they are thoroughly engaged in conversation and chatter. Monkeys know how to be funny and provocative, how to amuse and entertain with their sparkling wit and that famous monkey magic. They are honest, imaginative, motivated individuals, and can easily sympathise with other animals so even the most shy creatures open up to them.
