I have my own interpretation of the donkey painting being sold on Ebay by 'dogoodforusnow'  There is an iconic photograph in a lot of books about che of his little sister riding a donkey that allegedly was a family framed photo.  His sister died a young age and had a great effect on che.   I think the star above the donkey is a symbolic tribute to his sister.

I have two with this same signature.,  One I bought at a thrift store in St. Pete Florida in 1979 (the three bulls) and the other one online in 2013.  Don Quixote is an oil painting and framed in Glendale NY in the sixties.  The bulls are pencil on cloth with mistakes.  I have found a number of early Che signatures with accents on different documents.  Also there are two known pencil drawings he made.   He was in Miami and Fort Lauderdale in the fifties (he stowed away on a plane) and could have painted then or, in 1955 he was a photographer for the Mexican Gov't at the Pan Am games and he has made many references to being an artist. 
He sold paintings of Asclepius (his letter to his mother) at a stopover on his second motorcycle trip through South America.  Were they his?  I don't know. 

The stretcher on the bulls is made in Mexico.

I have been reading and looking for answers since 1979
