Dreaming of Ewe

I had a hard time naming this little 8 x 10 oil painting but finally decided on "Dreaming of You" then a friend suggested "Dreaming of Ewe" so that name stuck. Now, why didn't I think of that in the first place! It's painted on a gallery wrap canvas. This photo was taken with my IPhone so it's not a high quality photo....I need to get out my camera but I don't have the lighting system that I need here in my little apartment. I've had fun painting sheep! I started on another one this week but it looks horrible and it will end up in the trash. I love the image so I will try again.

Three Bags Full


"Three Bags Full" is a 12" x 16" oil painting that I finished Wednesday afternoon in my painting session with my painting buddy, Carla. I thought I really liked this painting but now that I see the photo I'm not sure I like it after all. Maybe it will grow on me. I took this photo with my IPhone, it's not a bad photo but it's not the quality that my camera will produce.

I've started a smaller 8" x 10" sheep that I plan to work on this afternoon. I guess I'm on a sheep kick again.....I think it's because I'd like to do some felting. I have a piece started but haven't taken the time to work on it and it's been calling my name.
