5 x 5 in.

With all my other plans for today, a daily painting was not actually one of them. But then, for the very first time I made a video for my present e-course students, sharing some of my daily painting process. Then I promised that I would finish this one today, so they could see the final piece. So there. My lovely, talented students inspired me. They do that a lot.

As is often the case, the teacher teaches what they too want to learn and practice...I’m encouraging everyone to challenge themselves and today this donkey challenged me. SERIOUSLY. Who would’ve thought it would be so hard to paint a donkey. I actually had one painted and then with a wet rag {another technique that works on the wood panel if the paint isn’t completely dry yet} I wiped the entire donkey away, and started over from scratch. Yup, I did.  And with it I wiped away a good couple of hours worth of work. 

This donkey kicked my a**, no pun intended.

But, I’m happy with him now :)
