Namaqualand donkeys

Extremely good and lots of tricky details, very interesting too.

Like the movement you have portrayed and the interesting narrative this provokes.

This is excellent - I'm very fond of donkeys: we have a sanctuary here on the Isle of Wight, and donkeys are still used to power the wheel for the main well at Carisbrooke Castle: so I know how donkeys are put together, and you've got them exactly right. Not only is it a fine study of the animals, and their driver and his contrivance, but it works so well as a painting whether you're besotted by donkeys or not.

Great shadows. I can feel the heat of the day.
