• This painting shows two donkeys, peering at you over the fence, looking as if they are laughing at you with your sun hat and enormous back pack.

    Animal artist Jos Haigh saw lots of donkeys as she walked the Camino de Santiago, they always seemed to be amused and cheered her up on her lonesome journey. Strong blue and deep mustard yellow reflect the sunny nature of Poncho & Pickles.

  • Jos learnt so much about donkeys recently. Did you know:

    If you challenge a donkey to a memory game, chances are you’ll lose. These gentle animals are able to remember places they’ve been to before and recognise donkey pals they haven’t seen for 25 years.

    They are loved, loved, loved. America, Canada, and the UK have a high population of donkeys as pets.

  • This painting is embellished with splashes of gloss varnish on the muzzles to give them shiny wet noses.

  • Well, you’re here aren’t you. And you know there’s something quirky about donkeys, specially happy ones that are well looked after. Let’s hope they all are someday.

  • Jos did a commission for a lady who had just lost her beloved cat.

    “Another gorgeous painting by Jos Haigh! We commissioned this painting of my mother in laws dearly departed cat. When we gave it to her she was in tears and said she will treasure it forever. Working with Jos has always been a pleasure and every piece of artwork has been incredible. If you get the opportunity, definitely purchase one of her pieces! It will brighten every room and put a smile on your face every time you see it. All of her artworks are one of a kind masterpieces!”
