Mama & Baby Donkey

I struggled drawing this one & I had to use the eraser so much that a solution to fixing the shorter neck & other needs I used tracing paper & moved it around to get the correct drawing. Thanks to my friend Sue who is one of the 6 Caboose artist who does this. Then I put drawing on light-box & traced onto watercolor paper. In Doug Walton's class I would have used crayon or some wax resist for this step. Then with my drawing on my watercolor paper I began my painting. This time I did the Donkeys first then added the background in washes. This is painted from more photos from our Oatman AZ day trip from the campground we were staying at in Lake Havasu City AZ. This is the same little Donkey from the all tuckered earlier post who had set up to see what was going on around him when we came back down the street. Guess nap time was over.

Hunting

This is a commission piece I did . I love dogs so did enjoy doing this one. I had a smaller dog like this one that was a great tracker & pointer. Guess they just know how to do this because we had him from a baby & he had never been trained. Archie Ball was a short dog so when he was on the trail of a rabbit in the pasture he would jump up above the bushes & we could see him then & he could see what he was chasing . He also found a Mama dog with several babies & went in a point when we walked by the old shed that she had gone into to have her babies. A stray dog that someone had dumped in the country. So sad that people do that. Sometimes they cant find water food, or shelter.

American Icon

Buffalo were a part of our country that was so important to the people that traveled & lived in North American. Especially for the Indians who depended on buffalo for food, shelter & clothing. The buffalo hunters soon brought this important icon almost to extinction . Now buffalo can only be seen in small herds on private land or in our Yellowstone Nation Park.
