Ewe Looking at Me-----well, she is!!

Ewe Looking at Me

6" x 12", pastel

Love the title of this, couldn't be anything else! This is one of those paintings that seemed to flow, no fighting with the colors, values. Have to admit that is a rare occurrence for me.... I do tend to 'fuss' too much. Took some liberties and excluded a sheep.....just didn't think it contributed one bit to the overall painting. Again another rarity for me...omitting from the original photo. I may just get the hang of this composition/painting thing yet!

I have taken numerous photos lately of the many cardinals that live in our trees. Yesterday there were 4 on the feeder with several others in the trees waiting their turns. Those will be painted I am sure, but this guy caught my attention when perusing my photos. Maybe it is the fact that it is so stinking hot here and I was wishing for the cold weather that is depicted in the photo.

This beautiful cardinal was all puffed up trying to get warm. He was just gorgeous sitting in our oak tree.

This painting has been sitting around for a long time. It just was not what I wanted. As often is the case the painting sits around until it is ready to tell you what it needs. Happy with it now!
