Default Dall Sheep

Hi everyone!

I've just completed this Dall Sheep. For those who don't know the Dall Sheep is from the Yukon where orignally the Big Horn mated with a Thin Horn Sheep creating a smaller version of the Big Horn with smaller horns. Through isolation due to the Ice Age they have developed into their own breed although they could mate back to the Big Horn should they cross paths again - but that long distance romance thingie creates some challenges to that one.

I hope you like it and as always your comments are welcomed.

Lindy

PS - What is everyone else working on out there?

Susan, Woodie and Bob - thank you!

I really enjoyed burning that one, I feel like I'm coming off a plateau and starting to improve again. Working with the leather taught me a much softer touch and a little more about shading/depth so when I went back to the wood I was really surprised at what I could do. I'm working on a juvenile coyote right now and am so enjoying it!

Thank you for your continued supprt everyone.

Linda
