Coming and Going

Yes I apologize in advance, but if you think you are looking at the backend of a donkey - well, you are correct.  This is from a PMP photographer, Steve Lyddon where he caught two donkeys.  Hence the title, "Coming and Going".  Keeping with that ying/yang thing I also decided to make the background cool/warm - and yes, right now it kind of looks like these must be French donkeys, and maybe they will be - who knows - it is your story.   We all voted that the left donkey is heavy with child as you will be able to make your own determination when I get the right hand guy in.

This again pastel on sanded paper, 9"x12".

Hope this gave you a little giggle on a Friday afternoon.  Have a great weekend and thanks much for stopping by.
