it's very strange that 2 countries(ireland and england) should be so radically opposite in their peoples and yet produce villages and towns that are physical clones of each other. minus the sheep i could be visiting my uncles place in penkhull, stoke.the red door on the left could be the entrance to his shop- and yet i know behind the doors live a very different people.what a shame.
I agree with Emily--very charming painting. The page loads from top to bottom, so the sheep and shepherd are a nice surprise after sky and buildings. Whereas if you first viewed this painting hanging, your eye would go the other direction. Interesting.
Artist Reply: Thank you Carol, I painted that picture so long ago that I can think nothing about it. It was among my first 2 dozen, but I'm glad it has pleased you. I just love painting. Frank.
