Whilst I have painted quite a few exotic animals I have not done much with those closer to home. Sheep fall into this category as Australia has such a large wool trade and there is never of a shortage of models as my travels to the country last week confirmed.
The trick of course is finding faces that look different as often sheep just all look alike.
I decided to incorporate "knitting" into my painting as I will then have a huge choice of colours and styles for my sheep faces.

As each new "garment" is finished I will add the unframed paintings for sale on my website and I hope that some Pure Aussie Wool finds its way further afield

Dear Lorraine - these are very lovely and whimsical at the same time. When I was little we had sheep. They can be such sweet pets. Take care and have a great week-end.
