"Frontenay Sheep" ©

In the heart of Frontenay, France the main road splits right where this sheep spends her days grazing in the sunlight. One morning she posed near the roadside for me.

Also this painting is the 800th painting posted on my blog, 200 from my goal of 1,000. And it's working, I have learned a great deal on this journey.

"Woolly" ©

This spring I have a couple of shows that are requesting some of my animal paintings. It's so much fun to paint fur and feathers I jumped on the chance. "Woolly" is another of the sheep I met last summer while painting in Maine. She lives a good life on an Organic farm for wool only.

"Who Me?" ©

If they could speak I think this lamb would have asked me if she was indeed who I was painting. You'll be pleased to know that wool is the reason for her being on the farm in Maine.

"Darthia" ©

One of the many discoveries while painting in Maine was the Darthia Organic Farm. Folks buy into the farm before the growing season, $10. per month in advance for the right to collect all the bounty their family needs that the farm produces during the summer season. My eyes immediately zoomed in on the sheep glowing in the afternoon Maine sun. I named this sheep Darthia, after the farm.
