Hi again! Hope you all have been painting! Thought you might like to see my donkey. It was fall and all the yellows were, are tricky. but I tried. Thanks.

Hi Ida,
Lively and vibrant colors and beautiful light. You've created a beautiful piece. The shadow really stands out and the donkey blends in a bit - I think I'd reverse that. As far as the shadow, I'd add some oranges and the ground colors to it and that would not only blend it in but make it look more realistic and actually part of the ground. And doing this that might just make the donkey stand out more.
BTW, you could have titled this "Sending you a view of my ass!". I bet that would have gotten a lot of people looking, LOL.

Nice work, Ida! Love the vivid colors and the use of light...
I agree with Michele on the title
