There has been something lurking in my mind...


something about ink and watercolor and anthropomorphs...you know how ideas for paintings and things sort of scuttle about in the squidgy corners of your mind when you are trying to sleep or listen to a radio serial from the 70's or some such thing and they grow and grow and growandgrow and GROW until....they sort of DEMAND to be made or else they take your mind hostage and you can't get the bills written out or read that nice-smelling book you found until they've had their way?

this was one of those times, so i hope you enjoy "Beatrix".

Is Beatrix showing off her naughty knees? Or is she startled to find human legs beneath her skirt? She's so hard to read...

Au Revoir.

  2. She's adorable, and certainly not without an intriguing expression on her face. I love her little stiff mane. Oh, but I wish I could see her feet!

  5. I love her! I'm a fan of all donkeys as you can probably tell and Beatrices after readng the Divine Comedy years ago. I agree with Blog Artists, Beatrix knows she looks good.

  6. Fabulous picture - looks like some of those gals at the side of the catwalk during Paris Fashon Week....Does following fashion make you a Donkey? If it does she's the prettiest Donkey I've ever seen!
