Tried to capture the contrasts and similarities(!) between wool and bark textures.

2007, Oil on Canvas, 24” x 24” Another one of those instances when sheep happens. Too much happy stuff isn’t good for you – just like too much candy can make you crave more of it (wait a minute, why is that a bad thing again?) – so I was determined to paint something in dark, dull colors. Maybe just a “let’s see if I can” thing, or maybe just the sheep wanting to really make an impact with his googly eyes. While working on this one, I had to take a lot more breaks than usual – I was getting a headache from staring back at the sheep. My eyes looked worse than his towards the end. I lost the contest… and so will you.

2007, Oil on Canvas, 20” x 16” Botox is a wonderful invention. It allows rich people to make themselves look like they are in constant surprise. Marvelous stuff, that. Gotta love the ingenuity of it all. Sheep of course are cheap so-and-sos. They use the natural facelift stuff available to them. The result is just as frightening but slightly prettier.

2006, Oil on Canvas, 12” x 36” Perhaps my favorite inspirational painting, Dare to be Different, is a message to every kid, parent, CEO, construction worker, administrative assistant, retiree and clown out there. Never take off without your cape and Zorro mask – it’s what keeps the meadow colorful, the flock entertained and yourself happy. It also keeps you aloft a bit longer, so the thistles won’t tangle your wool when you land.

2007, Oil on Canvas, 48” x 24” Reach for the Stars is my life-lesson to my three daughters – and to every other child or grown-up out there. Keep striving for the top of the pole, no matter how wobbly the journey. Keep reaching and keep believing that even though there are clouds, there is a beautiful sky full of twinkle stars beyond it, just waiting to be touched.

2009, Acrylic on Canvas, 9” x 12” They have the attitude – they have the fluff and stuff – and, they’re always game to play a bit of dress-up (even if the suit is a bit on the snug side). / Sheep would make pretty good bumble-bees. If only they were better at buzzing. Well, and the flying bit…
-
2007, Acrylic on Canvas, 24” x 24” Of course people often see the obvious – sheep have wool, and wool is for knitting; ergo, a sheep must be knitting, preferably himself. After about twenty dozen requests for a painting of a sheep knitting himself (of which there are probably a gazillion out there in the art world already), I decided to give in to popular demand, in my own way. The sheep was rather surprised itself.
-
2008, Oil on Canvas, 24” x 18” Everybody knows one – the party pooper that makes every party a disaster. / Well, sheep are different – when they’re there, parties start happening (as long as there is corn involved, that is). / Keep them away from the hard drinks though – two words: exploding. sheep.

2008, Oil on Canvas, 24” x 24” This is another one of those round-headed moments I had. Ewes Being Watched originally started out as a three panel jungle painting for my brother in Switzerland. Halfway through the painting, I got annoyed with it because it was overworked beyond repair. Just as I was tossing the panels onto the scrap pile, this little guy popped up behind the banana leaf with his binoculars – scared the fluff out of me! I guess he’s just a nod to all conspiracy theorists out there: Indeed, ewe ARE being watched, but it just might not be as sinister as you think. Just a sheep. He is looking at ewe, babe…

2005, Oil on Canvas, 20” x 16” Thinking only happy thoughts is rare for human beings – artists are no exception (especially this one here). Every now and then I need to paint “an evil painting” just to keep myself entertained at the easel. Which of the sheep is more shocked – the one fainted away outside or the ones on the inside?

2007, Oil on Canvas, 9” x 12” Tooting your own horn is often considered a social faux pas. The sheep really don’t care – in fact, the louder and bigger the horn, the better. It’s just part of their personality – something about compensating for low self-esteem or whatever.
-
2006, Oil on Canvas, 24” x 48” Even sheep have a romantic side. While humans promise their object of affection the stars from the sky, sheep are more practical. A field of grain is just the thing to make a sheep heart melt.
-
2008, Oil on Canvas, 12” x 36” Sheep aren’t very vocal in general, unless of course you happen to step into the meadow with a rattling bucket of corn or if you remove one of them from the flock. But even if they aren’t baaa-ing up a storm, they do have a lot to say, only silently. They enjoy doing what we should envy them for: living life to the fullest, in large bold letters.

2007, Oil on Canvas, 16” x 20” Faith is like jumping into a moshpit at a concert. You never know if you are going to float or get trampled to mosh (I’m fairly sure that’s where the name came from). Faith is when you jump anyway.

2005, Oil on Canvas, 18” x 14” Sheep are artistic, in case you didn’t know. The original Picasso Sheep painting hangs in the home of my art-sister Laurie Justus-Pace in Dallas, Texas. To see her work, go to http://www.ellepace.com.

2005, Oil on Canvas, 36” x 12” The original Tower of Baaabel. A stack of sheep has GOT to be fun. If only a stray bumblebee would happen by – instant sheep salad!

2009, Oil on Canvas, 16” x 20” Chased by deadlines? / Hunted by responsibilities? / Pursued by kids, pets, laundry piles, school papers, looming tests, people wanting things, or just life happenings in general? Whatever the pack on your heels might be – as long as you’re still a step ahead, you’re going to be alright. Just don’t trip…
