Jasper the Donkey

Jasper lives in Fearrington Village and hangs with all the cows and a few bulls.  He's quite a character, sometimes I think he thinks he's a cow too.  He wanted to know just what I was up to when I went out to photograph the cows, as he's their protector.  So instead, I took his picture and painted this portrait.  This piece has sold twice before, I keep painting newer versions, keeping one for my living room guarding the front door.
