This is an oil on canvas board started in 1995. I was experimenting with printing a photograph onto canvas and then painting over the image. First I bought some raw canvas and had a printing company, snap I think, print the image on. It was dim and washed out then. After that I mounted the canvas on some board, then painted over the whole canvas with oil paint. I like the scene because it has the animals – trapped then there’s the glimmer of hope for freedom in the distance through the open shed, but the sheep won’t go through there because it’s scary – oh and also there’s a gate.
