Description
Thank you for your visit and many thanks for your support of my last pic, I truly appreciate it my friends. I hope you like this one.
The dog is a Border Collie and one of a few I am painting for a dog pack, I hope to upload to my store. I have been painting them for a few weeks now on and off, and still have a few to paint, it is a very exacting task and it takes me a long time. :o)I painted the lamb a while ago. The whole scene was painted using wacom intuos3 tablet and pen in CS4.
Story -
The snows came early to the Yorkshire hills and lambing had begun. The border collie had been hard at work all day helping his master herd the sheep with their lambs down to the lower pastures.
The border collie is one of the most hard working and intelligent of dogs and this particular dog knew there was still not all the flock there, so he went off on his own in pursuit of any stray lambs. The good dog found one little lamb who was keeping warm near a tree and under a blanket of snow. The dog knew he had to stay with the lamb until his master whistled him, and when he did the dog barked, and the farmer knew instinctively that was a bark of alarm, so he picked up his lamp and made his way through the snow toward the trusty loyal sheep dog.
There was a happy ending and the farmer's wife took the lamb into her farm kitchen to warm him near the range, and gave him a bottle feed, and of course the dog joined them too.
Aren't dogs the most amazing creatures?
Happy Christmas guys, keep safe, hugs Jane xx

stunning creation Jane!
Gorgeous Jane.

This is such a beautiful scene Jane and it reminds me of our time farming. We had several Border Collies over the years and they were all so intelligent and loving. Your lamb also looks very real too. Marvellous painting in this scene and a great story.

So adorable! Wonderful work on the dog!
Now this is so sweet and so realistic. Beautifully done.
Great job on the Collie. The loosely twisted fur of the breed is well shown here. My grandfather had a collie and I remember this character of his fur.
so sweet and touching! wonderful art work! ... and thank you so much for nice words and adding!
Wonderful image, and very beautifully done! You're absolutely correct. Dogs are totally amazing. Border collies very intelligent dogs, and so eager to please. I used to have a border collie that I could tell to go out into the pasture and get my horse. She would go out on her own and bring the horse into the barn so that I could saddle up for a ride. Naturally then, she also got to enjoy running along side of us on the trails. She was a fantastic dog, and you've captured the character of the border collie perfectly in this image. :)
