Another of my little flock, this is Olga, she is a Manx Loaghtan Ewe and she is 10 years old she has been with me for 9 of those years, being a primitive breed she tends to be a bit flighty and weary even if me, she has had one lamb Luna born at the time of a supermoon. When I paint animals and birds I am trying to represent a unique individual, a character with thoughts and a personality, as Thomas Berry said 'subjects to commune with'... Painted a few years ago in ink and acrylic wash on canvas,, she became one of my most popular images and has been made into a card and print .
