Snyders Sheep Farm


Painted at Snyders Sheep Farm on Mill Rd, Pittsford, mid-April 2005. This is oil on board, 9x12. I expanded the palette to include cerulean blue, terra rosa, yellow ochre, burnt sienna. In the image, the whites are washed out compared to the actual painting.

I think I got a little over-ambitious on this one, but it was fun...nice way to spend part of a mild spring day. The part I'm actually happiest with is the distant tree line and field, both of which I think I handled just abstractly enough.
