This past summer I was lucky enough
to be able to travel to Scotland and the Lake District in England. It was
beautiful in both places and everywhere we went we saw sheep…by streams, on
mountains, in the woods, and by the road. You had to watch them carefully as
they would sometimes just decide that they felt like walking into the middle of
the road right in front of your car and then just stopping. They seemed to be
totally unfazed by oncoming cars. I haven’t decided if they were really stupid
or really smart, and just knew the tourists and the UK citizens so well that
they knew we weren’t going to run them over. I also don’t know if it was my
imagination but the more sheep I saw, the more they seemed to have different
personalities as well. Most seemed really sweet but every once and awhile you
saw one that looked just a little bit crazier than all of the rest.
Today’s painting is of a flock of
these sheep in the Lake District. You can see that most of them appear pretty
sweet, placid, and innocent, just munching away on grass. Then there’s this one
guy (can you find him?), who’s just staring at you as if to say, “One step
closer and you’re a goner!” There’s always one in every crowd!
