Little lambs are irresistibly cute, aren’t they? I spin and weave and knit so I’ve attended lots of fiber festivals….Maryland Sheep and Wool and the Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair, to name two. I’ve taken hundreds of photos of lambs being shown, resting and posing for the crowd. This painting is one of a series I’ll be adding to this website as they are completed. It is an acrylic on canvas. I’ve been asked why I paint in acrylics instead of oils and the answer is simple. I can control the time it takes for them to dry by the addition or subtraction of water. And, clean up is so easy…just water, no turpentine which was always my most unfavorite part of a painting day.
Keep checking back and you’ll see more lambs and sheep
