Today I have something light and humorous for you again. Do you remember my last painting inspired by Don Quixote? I had to try something similar. I just couldn't resist. This time I wanted to show squire Sancho riding his donkey and dreaming of becoming a governor of an island one day (it was supposed to be the reward for his service). Sancho embodies practicality over idealism, so I wanted to make the donkey and his master look alike. However, the donkey seems to have a little more senses than the master...
Don't you think?
"Sancho Panza and His Donkey", 30x40 cm, oil on board
Love the colors and the bubbles. It makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terry, that's really nice :)
DeleteCute and sensible donkey ! Thank you for your visit Marielle :-)
ReplyDeleteHe is, isn't he? He already susspects that there won't be any island in the end :)))
DeleteThanks for visiting too, Lala :)
This would be great for a child's bedroom.
ReplyDeleteReally? Yes, perhaps you're right, Elaine. Thanks for pointing that out :)
DeleteI was just thinking the same thing "Elaine" stated. This would be so nice in the child's room. Marielle, I so enjoy a new post with all the wonderful talent you express. You are truly gifted my friend. I love this "Sancho Panza and his Donkey". Well Done :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Saucy, you are so kind. I had a lot of fun making it, but at the same time I wanted to show Sancho's pragmatic and yet naive trust in Don Quixote's unrealistic promisses.
DeleteI really like your blog your drawings are really great and cute keep on drawing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer, I definitely will :)
