Dorset Days #1

Well on your way to doing that; in this painting, or at least the photographic reproduction of it, I find the sheep could do with just a touch or two of definition; just a touch here and there, especially a highlight or two to indicate a couple of legs, for instance. I should add that I hate painting sheep - they have a habit of turning into balls of cotton wool ...

A beautiful landscape Shaun! You have mastered the different shades of green very well and the feeling of space and light is excellent.

Thank you for the comments. Yes, I think you're right, Robert...a touch more definition in the sheep (those little blighters are difficult to do) and perhaps the grassy foreground.

It's so obviously Dorset! I live there and like this such a lot.
