        Hello everyone,

        I was watching ‘Countryfile’, one of my favourite TV programmes, on Sunday evening and there was a topic about sheep farming in Wales. I had my I-phone with me and managed to ‘snap’ a lovely view off the screen. This is my attempt at painting it. The beautiful lush green fields and mountain backdrop made a good picture I thought.

        All went reasonably well until I tried to indicate the sheep; now I can’t paint sheep at the best of times and now, with my shaky hand it is well nigh impossible. So you’ll have to take my word for it – they ARE sheep!

        Mike :)

                I see sheep. Maybe the ones pulling up the rear could be a little darker/dirtier. Nice painting.

                                    Hier würde man “Alm-Auftrieb” dazu sagen. Mike, es sieht
                                    prima und nach Schafen aus. Keine Bange, alles wird erkannt!

                                    Here one would say “Alm-Auftrieb” lift to it. Mike, it looks great
                                    and for sheep. Don’t worry, everything will be recognized!

                                        Easily recognizable in this scene, Mike. Well done!

                                        I even see the border collie, but I cannot make out the name on her collar. :wink2:

                                        Keep at it, Mike. Love your paintings!

                                                All you sheep experts are very kind with your comments. Thank you.

                                                Frank – I’m worried about your eyesight ….. can’t read the name on the dog’s collar? I think you need your eyes tested! :lol:

                                                Mike :)

                                                    Sheep works for me. At that distance they could be long haired Afghan hounds and you could fool me. :lol:

                                                        Rich – I’ve just referred to my painting and, at full size, they DO look exactly like long haired Afghan hounds!

                                                            I like it. The sheep are fine. It’s just nice to see you painting again, Mike.
