Donkey Daze

5x11 watercolor of two donkeys discussing their days over the fence, developed from previous ink sketch.  I'm not a landscape painter but will happily do one if there are animals, old barns, or people included.  This is on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper with Daniel Smith paints:  Quinacridone burnt orange and gold, green gold, raw sienna, UB, thalo green, alizarin crimson.   American Journey paints:  Midnight Blue, Peachy Keen, Coastal Fog, Periwinkle Blue, and Apricot.

Donkeys sketch

5x8 ink sketch using Tombow brush pens, black and grey, on white index stock paper.  From this work I'll develop a painting in watercolor showing the donkeys' local colors, the fence and background.

All Ears Mules

15x22 watercolor of two mules that belonged to a friend.  The background scene is imaginary to depict a hot dry southwestern feel.
