Friday, July 8, 2011 Real World - and Sketch of Land in my new world

Bought new computer last week and I am taking "One on One" lessons, every time I take a lesson it is with a different teacher, wish there were handouts to go with the lessons.

Enough of that - Bear and I are happy and well, and we thought we'd share a water color sketch of the land where our house is being built.  I know its grainy, but its just the basis for the painting.

I love the details of the sheep grazing in the background.  They are Dorset Horned Sheep.  In fact one of the first people I met on the island was Jonas - he is a shepherd.  At the time I was living in a tent checking out 4 different beach front properties that were recommended to me.  One morning I took a walk south to Point Conception - just to the right in the sketch - and suddenly I was surrounded by sheep.  Jonas then appeared and we talked; he would talk to you all day about his sheep if you let him, but his stories are for another day.
