"Goose and Maverick was done during a visit to friends in Maine. I'd hoped to begin working on an impressive vista horizon elsewhere on their land but it was raining and foggy most of the day. Determined to paint something, we went for a walk, coming across two of their sheep, Goose and Maverick (yup. named after characters in Top Gun) under a shed. Took a couple of photos, came back in the house and began painting. Got this completed in about two hours, while visiting and chatting. |
