Border Collie

On the Job

Border Collie watching sheep, taken from a public domain photo.




                                                  Sketches of border collies and sheep
                               
I love border collies, maybe it's their look, black and white and their wonderful expressions, not to mention that they are very hard workers.

This and that




A little of this and that, a fox I saw while driving on the road along the dunes, Lewes Beach. I stopped and made a quick thumbnail to remember it, and then painted using gouache.   Backyard feeding at my house using jet pens,  and Annie, relaxing in her favorite spot, the sofa. (graphite)
