'Jewel The Mule'
pastel on board, 20" x 16"
$600 matted and framed

Picture
      Sometimes you just never see what's coming.  A neighbor of ours took in a small mare for training, and about a month after she arrived she started getting a rather large barrel on her.  After a vet check, it was discovered that she was in foal so the training came to a halt.  The owner wasn't sure of the sire, but we were all expecting another horse.  Then one morning a small fuzzy black foal was lying on it's side near it's mother.  Suddenly, it raised it's head and looked at everyone, along with ears that seemed as though they were a foot long.  She was quite the site at first, and so, Jewel the mule was born.  
     She was on the small side but extremely energetic and quite the ham.  After a couple of years she was sold to a man that had another black mule the same size.  He wanted a matched pair to pull his wagon for the Columbia Mule Days parade held every year the first week in April in Columbia, TN.  I painted this pastel of her when she was a few months old.  This custom pastel portrait won second place in the Tennessee Art League's Juried Membership Show.
