Three Hounds and a Flock of Sheep

Sharing a few of the latest works of art.  Finally finished the painting of my hound dog.  It's been sitting on my easel for years.  I had it mostly finished but for the face.  The face is always the hardest part.  Here it is finished - along with the original.  In the background, peeking out from the parson's table is our wooden dog.  The wooden dog was purchased at a flea market nearly 15 years ago to serve as our "dog" when my husband and I were too busy to have a real pet. When guests would visit we'd command the wooden dog to "sit...stay... good dog!"  I guess we knew back then what breed we'd fall in love with.  LOL.

While the photo doesn't do these pieces justice  - these are the latest metal sculptures.  Inspired mostly from our trip to Ireland.  We wanted a flock of sheep in the front yard and a hedge.  Well, now I've got the sheep.  They were fun to make and not terribly difficult.
