This is Mary. When I met her back in early 2003 she was a 25 year old retired Grand Canyon pack mule living in Madison, GA. This was her barn...months after I painted her, a tornado came through and wiped out the farm taking most of the animals with it...Mary was one of them.
This painting was a school project. Our instructor Lindy Burnette took us to the farm and we were then to create a piece of floating livestock.

This is a lovely tribute to poor Mary.I like your composition and layering of colors.
This is rather beautiful, and fun, and sad, and interesting, and even has a story. All of this, kept me looking at the piece more and more. Well done!
Looking through your blog, I can sense some real potential. Keep up the drawings and muted tones!
