Fertile Ground

Oil /canvas, 20x20 inches

I was genuinely inspired by Mr. Fred Roessler, whose self-portrait photos are elegant in their simplicity and filled  with a delightfully uplifting sense of  humour.  If I could adopt him as a muse, I would surely do so.

His self portrait entitled Pasture,  lead me to think of the pasture that the ceramic lamb sits upon to be a very fertile ground for endless ideas and inspirations.  The cogs in the sky are the workings of a rich imagination and the landscape is filled with other possible ideas in the guise of sheep.
