Snoozing Burro


I've had some success with painting burro's so I thought I'd try another one. I'm fascinated with these small pack animals with long ears, a short mane and adorable little hoofs. Although they only reach a height of up to five feet at the shoulders, they seem to be able to carry huge amounts of weighty goods on their backs. I painted this little guy taking a short break while the tourists in the background are busily going in and out of all the shops hunting for more treasures to take home. The burro's owner is probably in the local bar having a cerveza before getting back to work.

He obviously doesn't work in TJ or he would be painted like a zebra!

I really like him.
