Perhaps it's time to forget about the stereotype that a donkey is a stupid and stubborn creature, and stop calling so stupid people who cannot understand the elementary. In fact, donkeys are smart and talented animals who can not only chew grass and bask in the sun, drive carts around the park and beg for carrots from people, but also paint bright abstract paintings with watercolors or oil paints. Such an artist, a donkey named Patty, lives in the center of Bristol Horseworld … In 2005, one-year-old Patty was bought at an auction in Romania and shipped to Bristol. The emaciated animal was very nervous and capricious, was afraid of people and did not contact other four-legged inhabitants of the HorseWorld center. However, over time, she became accustomed, became more calm and docile, and curiosity arose in her. One day, exploring the area, she saw how the center employee, artist Vicky Greenslade, was painting, and decided to "help" her. At that moment, Patty's talent for drawing appeared.
Vicki Greenslade, a mentor to eight-year-old Patty, says it took her about three weeks to teach the donkey not only to hold a brush in its mouth, but also to move it over paper. Patty turned out to be a smart and capable student, and now she paints author's pictures, only occasionally being distracted by signaling to her assistant to replace the dirty brush with a clean one. The donkey really likes this process, and she spends a lot of time at the easel, thereby entertaining the staff and visitors of the HorseWorld Visitor Center.
By the way, the pictures of the talented donkey, nicknamed Pic-ass-o, are popular. They are eagerly bought at art auctions, and those wishing to acquire the work of a donkey artist are ready to pay 100-150 euros for a painting, or even more. Many contemporary artists can envy such success. Meanwhile, painting is not Patty's only talent: she also knows how to kiss and play football, which she does with no less pleasure.
