Painting Sheep IX: Stages 1 - 3

When I visited the countryside of North Yorkshire, late winter was rolling into early spring and it was lambing season.

The green pastures were dotted with sheep. Anticipation was in the air. Everywhere I looked there were little lambs with their mamas or well rounded, expectant ewes.

As I blocked in the shapes and colors of this little lamb, memories of that beautiful afternoon came quickly back.  Pablo Picasso said, "Painting is just another way of keeping a diary". How true!
