Sheep

A group of figures gathers in a wooded setting, engaged with a flock of sheep. The composition is structured around vertical tree trunks that anchor the scene, whilst the figures—rendered in muted tones—move amongst the animals with a sense of purposeful activity. The artist employs loose, impressionistic brushwork across the oil-on-board support, creating an atmospheric quality where forms emerge and dissolve into the verdant background. The palette of greens, browns and soft pinks generates a pastoral mood tempered by the painting’s sketchy, unfinished character.
