This is about a sheep whose picture I painted, not to be confused with Painted Sheep, a breed of sheep.
Remember that Ram I told you about earlier?... Click Here if you missed it... Well we did have some good pictures of him, and I am a painter - well at least I paint, not so much a "famous artist" or anything of the sort.
I loved the texture of his horns, and his hair, this is in the fall and he has grown a thick main, the angle is so strange it was perfect to paint. I did the painting in acrylic paints, they dry faster than oils and have no smell.
This is a detail (part of) of the finish painting - of course you can see the background is changed to make it more dramatic from the rather boring pasture. I also opened his eye somewhat. I am rather happy with how his horns turned out and the hair as well - remember this is a hair sheep, a Barbado, which is not a woolly sheep - many mistake them for goats. I really should take a better picture though.
I own the copyright for both images, they are not for reproduction.
WOW!! :-)
