Burro

7.25x6.5 watercolor of a small burro I photographed last year on another New Mexico trip.  This fellow was in an area with another almost identical animal.  I added red trim to his halter but the flowery weeds were pink.  They were very friendly and walked up to be petted.  This is painted on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper with Daniel Smith pigments and is a daily painting.
