Mama and her Lamb

I have been painting some sheep lately. I think I am drawn to the softness and gentleness that we think of as attributes of sheep. As the world gets crazier there is a desire to celebrate those attributes and to paint love. A mother and child image is one of the deepest bonds in life and has been celebrated in art for centuries.

I believe and have seen that animals have the same bond with their offspring and I find great pleasure in exploring that love in paint.
