I was very interested in capturing the texture of the coat on this sweet sheep. The stare reminds me of all my visits to various farms and trying to capture a good image of a sheep. Sometimes you could get a good stare but more often they are busy eating and will not look up.

Sheep are beautiful creatures and challenging to paint with their very wide set eyes. The number of varieties are endless. I don’t know all the breeds but to me this is a classic sheep.

I have this painting in a barn wood type of frame that measures 19 x 15.
