Grazing

This painting has been sold


Oil on wood panel 9" x 18"

Ok, the sheep seem to have separated again. I think I know what happened. In the previous painting the farmer had dumped piles or clumps of feed down in the field so many sheep gathered round one clump. Here, they are just relying on the grass so it is "each to his own". There was gentle, intermittent sunshine that day such as we often get up here in Spring and Summer. Gives me a feeling of peace this painting.
