Spring Lamb

this is hopefully going to be a day that I can put up 2 new paintings....it was absolutely beautiful today outside...and my grandson Max and I were pleasantly surprise with 6 eggs from our chickens after a few months of almost none ! this lamb was actually sketched a couple of days ago but have had basketball games and orthodontist appointments which took up most of my time....

in our back area by our chicken coup, there is a fairy large oak tree....this year we had an abundance of acorns...so many that after a big rain you could actually walk across them and never get your feet muddy !
