Sheep

Two sheep rest in the foreground of an expansive pastoral landscape, their cream-coloured fleece rendered with soft definition against rolling green fields. A fence line recedes into the distance, anchoring the composition’s sense of depth and rural order. The sky dominates the upper register, rendered in layered yellows, greens and blues that suggest early morning or late afternoon light. Hatting employs acrylic on board to build a contemplative scene of quiet agricultural life, where land and sky meet in subtle atmospheric gradation.
