"The Rain Held Off #2"

A farm I have recently discovered and painted for the 1st time.  Rain was everywhere on the radar as I painted but didn't sprinkle until I was leaving. I am very fond of this painting and keep one small piece a year for my personal collection, usually something unique and expressive.  This will prolly be the one and I will do a larger version for sale.

"A Sheep Dining 'On' a Hay Bale"

I spotted this hay bale by a barn today at one of the Eppler's Farms.    Painted with a certain sense of humor... After talking to one of the Eppler's grandchildren while painting, it turns out that the larger sheep push the smaller sheep out of the way to feed. The smaller sheep then climb through a small gate and eat on top of the bale.
