Finished!  I'm finally finished with the latest Karakul sheep painting...love painting these sheep!  I'm thinking about doing a much larger one now!  When I went to photograph the sheep down at my neighbors house, it was early spring and the new baby lambs were mostly just days old.  They had a few of the sheep still in the pens with their brand new babies; learning how to bond to each other, and they were so sweet.  They need to learn to know their mother and visa versa, because when you let them out into the large herd they need to be able to recognize each other's scent and call...baaaaaaa!! I thought it was interesting how they have to sort of learn this.  The little lambs, for the most part, look very similar with some color variation in color and the ewes look even more similar..it's no wonder they might get separated and not know each other just by sight! 

Thanks for looking today.
