"Big Mama"
12 x 16
There are 6 Jacob sheep on the farm here where we are living while we are in England. There are also some gypsy horses and alpacas. The sheep - 1 is a male that has been fixed and the others are females, including this one. She is known to have a bit of testosterone in her, but even the male's horns are lots smaller. A fact about Jacob Sheep - they can have up to 6 horns! None of ours do.
This painting actually had me working a bit bigger than normal. You may be seeing more of them down the road. It has an acrylic undercoating that was actually very colourful. In fact, you may see some of the purple showing through. I'll let you find it.

I LOVE spinning Jacob roving. The natural variation in color spins up into fascinating marled patterns. The roving itself is a breeze to spin, so clingy and strong without being too rough or course! You are lucky to have such awesome neighbors!
