More sheep to count..

Miss Coquette  seemed an apt title for this seemingly coy ewe.   Part of the 12x12 series of sheep to count while awaiting the sandman.
Coming!  More little lambs frolicking in the fields.

Whistler workshop with Brian Buckrell

Just finished an amazing week of 12 hour days painting with Brian Buckrell, instructor extraordinaire. My friend Susie's garage was transformed into a studio for 8 artists and we had tons of fun but we sure worked hard!   Our 8th student Jeff is absent from the photo .. took a break at the wrong time. Lots of great work was produced here but most need finishing.

Counting Sheep!!

Home from an amazing trip in the UK. Among other things, we walked through many lambing areas in the Cotswolds and near Salisbury. And since I'm doing a show next month at Essentia, a lovely bed store on 4th Avenue, I thought I should paint some of these cute creatures.



WHO, US??   12x12 acrylic on canvas










ON THE LAM  12x12 acrylic on canvas

This pair snuck under a fence and then were frantic about not being able to rejoin their flock. We were part of a group of passersby who corralled them and someone who didn't know better  (they're rather dirty up close!) lifted them over a fence.


BAAAD BOY.  12X12 acrylic on canvas.
