At Dawn

 

Island sheep V

And yet another one in the Sheep Series.

 

Experimenting with a very light background can be surprisingly amusing and challenging. I have depicted these three lovely ladies in a dramatic twilight scene, reminiscent of what one often observes on our island. The time of day with such a sky could represent either dawn or dusk; however, since I decided to place the sea on the right side of the painting, it can only be interpreted as dawn on Ameland. Good morning!

Alla prima, oil, cardboard 40x32 cm.
