A friend and I headed
out to photograph some local buffalo but instead I was
taken by the mesmerizing stare of this ewe that was
keeping the buffalo company. I used a Sennelier sanded
surface with Unison pastels to create the thick texture of
fleece for this painting. It was such a pleasure to work
with all of the colors in this piece and to recreate the
nature of the fleece with all of its curls, juxtaposed
against the straight fur lining the sheep's eyes, nose and
ears.
This painting was selected in
the Pastel Journal Pastel 100
international competition as being among the
Best Art of 2006 and can be viewed in the April 2007
issue of the magazine.
