Southwestern Donkey demo

15x11 watercolor using Daniel Smith paints on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done on October 13. The demo was for the Mid-West Texas Artists Guild in Ballinger. Last visit there for a workshop was May 17, 2008. The second part of the day in afternoon was to practice placing line drawings over an old dog/old work. For the demo I used a sleeping cat and turned it vertically using same donkey previously painted in the morning. These imaginary works keep your creative juices flowing and fun happens.
