Sheep Grazing

Crows on the Beach 7

$64 © Pam Van Londen 2010, Crows at the Beach 7, 8×8 oil on clayboard I’ve sold the other two of this composition, so felt compelled to paint it again. I find painting ripples a challenge to render and they are quite different every time I do them. When painted on Claybord, it is tougher [...]

Caw!
