On one of my four trips to Israel, I stayed in the resort city of Eilat, Israel on the Red Sea for a few days. On one of those days, I made a one day trip across Jordan to visit the famous archaeological site of Petra. Soon after crossing the Jordanian border, I saw this guy on a donkey carrying a load of straw and had to take his photo (see last photo). This is the second time I've painted this subject and I'll probably do it again, each time thinking I can do a better job. I've traveled to many countries and have tons of photos that are begging to be painted....if only I had more time!
Here's the finished painting. The last photo was used as my reference.
This is a photo of my art studio showing "On the Road Again" on the easel.
This is the photo I took near the city of Aqaba, Jordan that I used as my reference for this painting.
Thanks for reading. -Bob
