Sheep in Snow
Louise O'Gorman Animal
I've just added this one to my Snow collection..
Sheep caught in the wintery snow. I love watching sheep and how they all follow each other. I felt sorry for these guys caught in the snow, it was a cold wintery day which always makes me want to get cosy.
I added light layers of paint on top with added snow to this painterly winter scene, finishing with a warm hue, just to take the edge off that cold!

The sunlight enters as a narrow beam of light which penetrates the roof-box until it reaches the floor and gradually extending to the rear of the chamber.The photograph of...
