An interesting collage of images - it is like the sheep is keeping watch over it's habitat! Lovely detail to the mountains - they look suitably rocky and solid.

Thanks Thea, like the idea about the sheep, they are symbolic of the Lakes.

It's beautiful Malcolm, good idea for the rams head, I'm sure she (Gilda) loves it. :)

This painting of the end of Buttermere with Haystacks and Fleetwith Pike on the skylines along with the rams head , was done for an Americal couple as a memento of thier visit over here.
