8.5x11 watercolor on 140 lb Saunders paper using an unusual color palette of a hot fore and middle ground with dark navy sky. Both background trees and donkeys are treated as simple shapes and not depicted in my usual realism.

Management Donkeys
15x22 watercolor on140 lb cold press Saunders paper painted wet in wet. When I first painted "Management" everyone who has ever been in the workplace loved its title. These three donkeys were grazing not far from my mother's farm in west Texas and they came over to meet me at the fence. Background buildings were imaginary as I wanted to depict a very hot southwestern day. This one sold right away then I painted it again several years after and that one sold at its first show. Who knows, I might do them again as I have saved the drawing on tracing paper.
