" Rural outlook"

Comments

I love these mixed media pieces with ink, Mike, it gives them an almost printed look, especially with a limited palette. Lovely composition and colour in this one.

This is so good Mike, I particularly like the way you have painted the sheep

Great painting, with such a limited pallet.

This is super, Mike, love that barbed wire and the sheep ... very Moore-ish!

my thanks for the kind comments, For 14 years I had a close connection with a beef /sheep farm - even "owned" 23 cows so had close and personal contacts handling and working the animals. As a leather technician it was a case of seeing the raw material close up and kicking. The cows kick harder than the sheep!!!.
