Brilliant, Ruth. I have noticed a new confidence in your work of late and this one is beautifully executed. Great composition and wonderful expression on the donkey's face. I just hope the people who own him are kind to him. So many donkeys abroad are badly treated.

Lovely eyes and twitchy ears as they do, like horses, when they are listening, he looks like he has a nice normal not mutilated, nose, great fur on him

Coloured pencils....A4 approx velour paper. One of the mules nursed to health by the Brooke Horse Hospital in Tunisia. Ignorance moves their owners to perform 'Nostril slitting' in the uneducated belief that this will help the animal's breathing. The Brooke charity works tirelessly to re-educate owners such as these.
