'The Stare'

How lovely and what a superb coat!

Oh she's gorgeous Sarah, beautifully painted, so much texture in her fleece. Sheep have that stare that you can feel boring into the back of your neck....especially when you might have food!

Ah thank you both - lovely comments. It was the first time for me to paint actual sheep fleece so I struggled at first, and then as soon as I got it, I couldn't leave the canvas - I was too afraid I'd lose the technique!!

Magnificent portrait of a sheep Sarah!

Great portrait Sarah.

Thanks Satu and Carole - wasn't sure about this composition when I started - thought it may have been to simple, but it's grown on me.
