I lived for many years in the Clwydian Hills in North Wales, where snow in winter and early spring was just part of life. I was passing a field one day and saw a shepherd bringing hay to his flock across a snow-covered hillside, the sheep following faithfully behind. I couldn’t resist.
The original was a charcoal drawing, and this medium suits the subject perfectly - soft winter light reflecting off the snow, the bare trees, the quiet of a cold morning. It took a while; there were a lot of sheep, and I felt I had to include every one of them, right down to the smallest.
It's a scene that hasn't changed in centuries. A shepherd, his flock, and a hard winter. If you love rural life, the British countryside, or just honest, timeless subjects, this one has a lot to say.
