Spring on a Sheep Farm and a Lambs Coloring Page
Topic: Thursday Photo Challenge

Order cards and prints of my sheep farm watercolors.
Have fun with my Spring Lambs coloring page!
Here is a sheep drawing to color or draw from.

lambs and sheep Thursday Photo Challenge this week is Spring (baby animals, birds, flowers..) I have been searching for any decent bird or baby animal picture in my files and come up almost empty. My digital camera doesn't do well with birds. It makes small picture files and so doesn't do well with zoom shots. And, last spring I tried endlessly to catch the cardinals out back but every time they came in sight the camera had timed out.

This was a sheep farm in Cushing, Maine, that I used to frequent for some good lamb sketching until the farm packed up and moved north for more land. I did a series of watercolors of the sheep back then, some of which you can see below. This photo was taken with my old Instamatic camera, in 1998. It has been scanned and cropped. As for the sheep, they are wearing coats to keep their fleeces clean. Clean fleece get a better price than dirty ones

This is a card set from my series of sheep farm watercolors.
Order cards and prints.

Hello Katinka from NH

Your cats look pretty content for a "feline gathering"--sorry to learn that 2 had died.

your sheep watercolors are very nice and evocative of field  and mist colors and I will be purchasing some cards.

It is good to see you site!

Love

your old pal

Deb
