The Curious Burro

The Curious Burro is a mixed-style oil pastel piece that combines vivid color with both abstract and realistic elements. Centered on a donkey with a lively, inquisitive expression, the piece uses bold strokes and bright hues to emphasize personality and movement, while maintaining realistic features that ground the subject.

This painting explores the tension between control and spontaneity, blending detailed rendering with expressive mark-making to capture the spirit of the animal in a playful, unconventional way. The result is a dynamic portrait that invites viewers into a moment of curiosity and charm.
