Finished! United We Stand

Finally the sheep has taken his place among his fluffy companions for a portrait - of course, being the rather obnoxious personality he is, he could not refrain from making a rather silly face for the picture. On the other hand, if you look deeper, you'll notice where the title for the painting originated - cramped into smallish spaces, filled with stuff and fluff, all different colors, sizes and noses, and degrees of fl00finess and yet, there they are, all together united.
Yep, they are living the american dream that a famous guy once had. Now, if only that really would happen in real life, we'd be much better off.
Oh, almost forgot:
Yes, I do realize that the sheep is of a darker color and has a striking resemblance to Barack Obama (and yes, there most likely will be a painting going in that direction sometime soon) - just a little homage to the guy that's managed to email his way to the top of the race (good marketing is always impressive, no matter what the cause).
So there you have it, right from the Sheep:
United We Stand
Oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 30" x 40"

Today we head towards the Outer Banks for the Whalehead Club art show - a must be there type of event, in the middle of the week. If you happen to be in the area, or want a bit of island happiness, make sure you're there, it's going to be a great show, I've been told.
Let me hear your comments about the new piece - feedback is what inspires more Sheep Incognito happenings.
