Sheep and a touch of Spring.

[Ern007]

Never done sheep before -- Try anything once.

So i rolled out my rickety fence, added sheep showing spring is just round the corner. Being a not large canvas, I have kept shade to a minimum.

It’s great Ern and l’m sure Hungry Hufflepuff will appreciate your wonderful efforts. I know l do. Xxx❤️🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

[Ern007 in reply to sassy59]

Thank you Carole - hardest part was choosing which photo to post, I took 6 in all. Xxxx

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to sassy59]

I certainly do appreciate this painting and Ern’s efforts. It’s brilliant 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

[HungryHufflepuff]

well i love it ! Obviously I love sheep and this is a really lovely painting. My sheep will be happy (so will I!) when Spring puts in an appearance because it’s more like the bleak midwinter at the moment. Thank you for such a cheering painting 🐑

[Ern007 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Thank you HungryHufflepuff - was a pleasure to do. I will join you and your sheep in wishing this long winter away.

Beautiful spring painting. I like the contrast of colours you have used, it brings the painting to life. The sheep are also cute. 🐑🐑 Hope your appointment goes well today x

[Ern007 in reply to Issy22]

Thank you yes, 2-30 I have to be there, just 150 yards from my home. x

[Donald_1931]

Spring has arrived at last and the blossom is out, if only in Ern’s world at present. Those sheep look to be in lamb. Great picture Ern. 😀

[Ern007 in reply to Donald_1931]

Thank you Donald and I am hoping Spring shines down on us very soon, we are overdue.

[Welshcatlady]

Wonderful picture Ern, love the woolly sheep! 🐑🐑🐑❤️Hopefully spring will be in the real world soon. There are a lot of sheep farmers in our area, so when I see the lambs gambolling in the fields I know Spring has arrived!

[Ern007 in reply to Welshcatlady]

Thank you Welshcatlady -I have always liked seeing sheep in fields while driving, not much these days but a very pleasant sight,

[Nula2]

[Threecats]

Nice one Ern! Could certainly do with a bit of Spring now and some of the sun your sheep are enjoying!

[Ern007 in reply to Threecats]

Thank you Threecats. I think we are all short of a bit of sun, very close on Spring now.
