Nanny Donkey

I have been working on a few oil paintings but they are not ready to post.  I sketched this Donkey out after hearing about these Donkeys from my parents.  Shepards use them to carry the lambs until they are big enough to travel with the flock on their own.  I had never heard of this before and I think it is a pretty brilliant way to take care of a problem and protect the lambs.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter, I don't know how a Donkey baby works for Easter, but it works for me.  This is part of the Donkey, Mule studies I did.  This was in colored markers.

Turkey Point Lighthouse, Maryland

This is an oil painting of Turkey Point Lighthouse in Maryland.   This a sunrise painting, part of what I worked on last week.  Some times you have to finish things to about 80%, the last 20% is the hardest to finish and sometimes you have to wait a bit to get the issues to make sense to you.

Ink Head Donkey sketch

I have been away this weekend at an art workshop.  I worked on some 16 x 20 paintings but they are not finished.  So I will post this ink brush and grey marker sketch of the head of a Donkey.
