Stork nests, cork oaks, and Spanish not-so-wild wild horses. They roam at will, same as the spotted cattle with the intimidating horns. Although it’s not nesting season, white storks cruised overhead and clattered their beaks to let me know they hadn’t sublet the property. Doñana National Park, Spain.

Watercolor over pencil on 8 1/2″ x 11″ Lana spiral-bound drawing book.Flamingoes do the coolest little two-step shuffle while they feed. Pink toothpick legs wave back and forth as they take fluttery little steps in place; they look exactly like flamenco dancers. I’d never made the connection before, but I’m drawing a line right through those two dots: give that bird a pair of castanets. Doñana National Park, Spain. Sketched through a scope.

Hi Debby! I’m a follower of your blog since a few years. I’m a wildlife painter too, I live near of Doñana NP and I usually leave to paint all the afternoons. I have seen that you are spending some days in Doñana, and this afternoon I will be painting in El Rocío marshes, from the old road to Matalascañas (today for me 11/26/14). It would be a pleasure for me meet you if the time allows it to you.
I hope that you are enjoying of Doñana. Excuse me for my English! Greetings!
