#doodlewashMay2022 prompt: Key. ‘Cause don ‘key’, right?
Did you know the donkey’s bray requires vocalizing both while inhaling (the hee) and exhaling (the haw)? This is unique to donkeys. Horses and zebras can’t do it.

Sandra, I have seen this when I lived in Florida… And they are simply magnetic in their dance ritual…. Good job!!!!
-
Thank you, Walt! I’ve only ever seen the mating dance on tv, and it was mesmerizing there. I can only imagine how flamboyant it would be in real life.
-
Watching them doing that dance makes you wonder…. There is intelligence in the animal kingdom, instinct don do that alone – their dance at the same rhythm without mistakes… it’s simply one of those WAO!!!!! moments we can enjoy in life…. Really that our Creator is simply Magnificent, natural selection is too dumb of an idea to justify…[Read more]

This is fabulous!!! Love this!!!!.
Jungle Gardens in Sarasota is a great place to watch Flamingos. I could easily spend the day there.-
I can’t wait to spend more time seeing the sights in Florida. Most of my trips there so far have been centered around family gatherings without time to do much else.

What a fabulous bear and great info. But doesn’t remind me of Winnie.

Great tree Sandra.

This is beautiful Sandra, I love the way you used ink. Still a bit leery of trying it, don’t know why.
-
Thank you, Brenda! A lot of people don’t like to draw with ink on their paintings because you can’t erase or easily cover it if needed. I like using it to help establish my base values.

That is a lovely and interesting painting. I love the viewpoint. Very unique.

Brilliant. How do ypu get the glassy look in the eyes Sandra?
-
Thank you, Gary! Eyes are translucent so light passes through. The white is where light enters. Following the direction of the light, the eye will be lighter where the light exits. In other words, if the white is at top right, because the light is coming from above and right, the lower left will be lighter. With this owl, I have the light…[Read more]
