Ir-raghaj it tajjeb
'The Good Shepherd', this used to be a common sight, shepherds taking their sheep and goats on to the local garigue to feed. There are still a few who do, this was caught on camera by a friend of mine, Pete Bullen, I have his kind permission to paint from it. This is a study, 8x12 ins, for a larger picture. I am doing a lot of experimental work in my tiny studio while it is too hot and humid to do anything plein air. I think the sfumato effects that I was practising are ok, if a little overdone on the left hand side. I am reasonably pleased with it.
