AND THE SHEEP WENT ON BEING DEAD

£525

This is an individual piece. Inspired by Ted Hughes work in part and in part by the french poet Jaccottet,. The paintings portrays the bleached bones of a sheep that is slowly sinking into the black peat above the village of Helmshore at the foot of the Rossendale valley. The colours are beautiful indian reds and blues. It was displayed in a number of northern shows but in one in particular organised by Paul Stone called 'out of the blue' and I dedicate this dead sheep to him.
There you go Paul enjoy.
