Karoo Landscape, sunrise.
Last month we went down to Adelaide for a Birthday party and left early in the morning, so that the sun was still low on the eastern horizon when I photographed this beautiful view beside the road. Just had to paint it !! Hope you like it too.

Ewe and Twins
Every now and then I go out early on a winter’s morning to photograph the two flocks of sheep that spend the night near the house to keep their young lambs safe from predators. This was a little ewe and twins scene that I particularly liked. I decided to do it in oils this time. I love the way the lambs wait patiently for their mothers to get up in the morning so they can have their breakfast.

Since acquiring a few canvases at a sale at the art shop in November, I have decided to do a few paintings of sheep, in oil. Here is the first one.
