Surprise Surprise! by Mike Paget

This is a lovely piece. The textures are beautifully rendered, and create a very effective backdrop for the donkey.

Thank you so much - I'm glad you like it!

Great painting this one Mike ---I have been back to it four times before I made this comment -- Its brill--- rather comical too

Thanks very much Charles - much appreciated!

A delightful painting. He looks fit and well cared for. So many are overworked, and with poor nutrition and veterinary attention. Your background is beautifully painted, great textures.

Thank you Ruth - he looked happy enough - as he was tethered by the main route into town, he was getting plenty of carrots etc from the tourists!

A wonderful composition Mike, great textures and I love the wonky ear to add that hint of humour!!

Thanks Fiona - he was a delight to paint!

this caught my eye - I like it very much. Agree with all the above.

This is a wonderful picture, the donkey draws the eye in and I love the rocks and broken fence. It tells a story and awakens the imagination.

Thank you Avril and Brenda, I'm so glad you like my painting!

Love this!

Thank you Lesley!

This just makes me smile. It's lovely as is the rest of your gallery.

Thank you Sarah!
