Description
I was sitting right in the middle of a high field on a hillside looking at the light in the valley below for what must have been an hour or so when I heard a slight noise behind me. I turned round quickly to find a whole bunch of sheep, thirty or so, had quietly come up behind me and were standing no more that six feet away from me. Watching. Most of them scattered instantly but four of them stayed and continued looking at me. I slowly got out my camera and took a couple of shots before they also wandered off. This whole mini episode was carried out in complete silence. I kept only two of them in this painting for compositional reasons.

Thank you for your comment on my painting , After looking at yours I am very appreciative of your nice comment. I love sheep, and farm scenes, and this is so lovely. The softness of the colors just make it so relaxing and peaceful. Great job!!! May from Canada

This is fantastic, Harry! I love sheep so I was attracted to this painting anyway but your technical handling is magnificent. I wish I could see this in person. Thank you for enjoying my painting titled Grace. All my best, Chris

Your landscapes are quite amazing Harry but I have to say this one keeps my eye longest primarily because I am drawn to animals. You have such an interesting background story as well. Thank you so much for your supportive comment on my 'Angelica'.
