There are many “Aesops fables” to choose from and I found it hard to choose which to one illustrate next. I began to paint this particular fable by demonstrating for an art group. There are various ways to interpret this fable and I have discovered some different versions which have come from the original story by Aesop; so I thought I would add my own slant to this tale, by giving the Donkey and the Horse wings; which I feel gives the fable a mythical quality.
