A little burro (would that be a burrito?) has acquired a cheerful friend on a beautiful spring day.
I started with a photo of a very small, very cute burro that lives in my neighborhood. What can I do with this? He's simply too adorable to keep to myself. So after carefully erasing a strand of fence cutting across his body, I combined him with a background of gorgeous William Morris fabric that seems like the essence of spring to me. Copying some of the Morris flowers one by one I strung a garland around his neck.
That was pretty cute, but rather static. So I drew a cartoonish friend from the ubiquitous sparrows in my yard. Okay, I know he's a very fat sparrow! He's well-fed, all right? :) I gave him spring hues of orange and delicate lilac instead of his usual drab tan, and I think he likes it!
