He tends his flock- original

£600.00

As I live in Mid Wales, sheep are an important feature of the landscape, and I have always felt drawn by the passages from the Bible which talk about the shepherd and his sheep.

This painting had a repaint in 2023, three years after being completed the first time. The purpose was to create more of a sense of depth between the shepherd and the background, which seems to have worked well.

“Painting tip- Don’t be afraid to scrape the head off a crow and paint it in facing the other direction, if it improves the picture! And don’t be afraid to revisit a picture to improve it. Every year your skills and your eye for detail get more honed, so you can always improve a picture.” Sue Newham

Description

This painting is based on Isaiah 40 : 11 which says, He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.”

“As I live in Mid Wales, sheep are an important feature of the landscape, and I have always felt drawn by the passages from the Bible which talk about the shepherd and his sheep. During the Covid lockdown, I read Isaiah 40 and wanted to convey some of the promises of God that I read in that chapter.” Sue
