Wild Burro Family

Wild Burro Family / 12x16 / oil on linen board

Perhaps painting animals will shake my summertime blues? This little black baby burro was one of the cutest babies I have ever seen - photo was taken at wild burro auction in San Diego a few years back.

    1. Indeed they are very lovable - yet this trio was shy and reserved. I love their long ears and soulful eyes.

  4. Well they've shaken mine! They are beautiful! I think lot of people are feeling the same right now... Here we have had little summer at all so it's harder to feel so inspired I think. You'll come through it :0)

    1. I hope you are right, Sandra - summer is almost over so perhaps these doldrums will disappear as the weather cools and a hint of Fall enters the air!
