Artist Comments

Harrison is a Bluefaced Leicester sheep from the same flock as Samantha.  This breed is known for its Roman nose, bluish gray face and beautiful off-white lustrous fleece.  The sheep farmer graciously invited me to her home to spend the night so that I could get up early to get photos of the sheep when they are first let out of the barn.  Harrison was standing at the opening to a tented area where the sheep first got their mineral supplements before heading out to the pasture, and the morning light struck him in a dramatic way.  This three-quarter view of his head really accentuates the features of his breed--he's quite a handsome fellow!
