sheeps

I know the plural for sheep is not sheeps. I took this photo in Italy at a sheep farm and our gracious hosts referred to them as sheeps. Maybe even sheepsah. We got to taste several of the sheep's tasty products. Yum! I was super excited to get to photograph some sheep. The sheep were running in a flock so I had to edit out lots of sheep behind these three. This is painted on an 8 x 10 linen canvas.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I was fortunate to have three sons in one place at one time.sold

    I love your sheeps and that is what we call them too! The brushwork is fabulous and love the fence line at the back. Three is just perfect- one for each son~! So glad you had them all together and enjoyed the holiday!

    "Sheeps" caught my attention for sure, but I like it, as well as the painting. Great background that really makes the "sheeps" stand out.

    Love, love, love the gestures of the sheeps you've created with simple brushstrokes. I found your blog through Karin's mention and glad I did. Beauthiful work.

    Un splendide travail dans le jeu des lumières sur les moutons... Je suis toujours attirée par les troupeaux de moutons...
    Gros bisous à vous et je suis heureuse pour vous que vous ayez pu réunir vos enfants.

    I love the way you've handled the meadow here, Carol. The sheep are so lovely themselves!
