Discovery.... art work ....

some time ago I painted this image from some photographs I took at my friends farm ...This is her sheepdog Jess, and a few of the sheep ...



We ate a lot of my friends eggs, and I decided to use the image to make an egg box lable ...the text was chosen because it reminded me of egg boxes in my childhood, just a feeling, a hint of memory!



I recently found the painting, and presented it to my friend over a lunchtime sandwich. The still have the farm, but no longer sell eggs.
