Sheep :: Acrylic on Panel (pastel ground) :: 18 x 24
For those that don't know, I am very, very, very intrigued by farm animals. Maybe it's growing up on the shore in New Jersey, or maybe it's their eyes or physical prescence...Anyhow, when all else fails, I find myself painting pigs, sheep, chickens, cows, etc. I don't show them often, because I don't want to be thought of as an animal painter, but I do enjoy my furry and feathered models!
This painting and others will be shown at the Vision Rehab Center Art Show this Wednesday, March 7, 7pm-9pm. Visit http://www.tricountyblind.org/ for more info.

Jennifer. Plein air painter, Painter of animals, painter of water, painter of people, painter of skies; whatever we love to do, we should do because of the happiness we get from it. This sheep and its colors are bold and beautiful and to top that; a pastel too. Nice.
Hi Jennifer. I am a farm girl and I grew up loving all the animals on the farm and painting them. There is nothing wrong with that. I love this painting. It reminds me of the sheep my dad raised on our farm and it looks like he is ready to have his wool clipped.
I love your color in this, Jennifer! Artists should paint what they love - the sheer joy of it always shines through.
You give them such personality with your whimsical treatment and colors. I really like this one!
I too love animals! Love the textures, colors and the personality that goes with this painting.
I love this painting. Everything about it draws me in. Great work.
Awesome color and playful energy. Good to see your posts Jen!
