Time Away From Home, Dingle Sheep by Joan Tavolott
When I was in Ireland last year, we visited Dingle and the Dingle Peninsula. Every morning I would take a walk and pass fields where sheep were grazing. It looked so peaceful, and each sheep had its own unique look...just like this one!
Love all that wooly wool, knit sweaters waiting to happen! Beautfully done Joan. Nice you had that experience in Ireland. One country I have not been to myself.
Great painting of the sheep, Joan, with his long shaggy hair and even the tag in his ear. They are such obliging creatures when they decide to sit down, and stay quite still for a long time. Have you ever seen 'Henry Moore's Sheep Sketchbook'? It's wonderful, full of pen sketches of the sheep that grazed in the field outside his studio.
