I love Ewe!

5x7 inch oil on linen canvas

Maybe we should trade in our lawnmower for some of these cuties. 


White House woolies
President Woodrow Wilson grazed sheep on the White House South Lawn. The wool obtained from the sheep was sold to raise money for the Red Cross during World War I. The flock included "Old Ike," a tobacco-chewing ram. (http://www.sheep101.info/interestingfacts.html)

Great painting, Carol. Like the way you unified the painting by using the blue in both sheep, as well as the brown.
