Baby Donkey Folk Art Daily Painting

" COME LITTLE ONE"
16x20-inches


If you've seen a baby donkey you've seen something worthwhile! When I was young I remember begging my dad to adopt one. The request fell flat. They are just too cute and I still feel that way today.

I've painted Frida Kahlo as a tiny girl who has been given a baby donkey. Frida stands in cowboy-cowgirl boots and is going to show baby donkey the prettiest patch of flowers. I think they are going to get along great! Kitty has not been convinced yet, but will be won over shortly.

This painting has some play of patterns and colors, but the emphasis is meant to be on Frida and the baby donkey. All of the other details are fun things to explore.

Available for sale.

Snow White, Rapunzel and Cinderella Fairytale Daily Painting


Spring with it's warm freshness is visiting and in my mind as I painted this with a light and airy feel. I held back on most all of my black, but a little. When I went outside to check on the sheep this morning the deer ran across the field, the birds sang, Canada geese flew overhead, and I thought, "It's a lovely day!" Soon the geese will be making nests by the creek. Fawns will be hiding by the creek, too, in dappled light. I felt like a woodland princess even though I had on a big down jacket, rubber boots and my hair was a bit of a mess! We girls are all a princess at heart.


Colors are soft and play off against the smokey, blue-green background. I put in a pinch of the color red to catch your attention, Snow White holds a red heart instead of an apple and has the tiniest red bows in her hair. You might notice our fluffy white, westie dog made it into the painting, too, by my signature sitting on Cinderella's foot.


This original painting is for sale one ebay.
