"Sheep in the Light of Dawn" - watercolour - 25 x 36 cm
I
had to be out earlier than usual recently, before dawn. I wasn't
expecting to be doing any artwork but I always have my sketchbook
with me, just in case. It was a cold grey morning and rather
uninteresting, but then the sun rose above the clouds and lit up the
landscape. A group of sheep were caught in the light, making a
subject which I couldn't resist sketching, despite the freezing
temperature. A few pencil lines and colour notes were all that I
needed to make a painting back in the warmth of my studio.
