Marley the Shaggy Sheep

This delightful watercolour is my fun interpretation of a Devon and Cornwall long wool ram.   I photographed this cute character at the East Dean Sheep Centre set in the heart of the South Downs last spring.  After speaking to the farmer, he informed me, the rams name is Marley.  My painting of Marley has been so well received that I have now had several commissions of this particular ram and the print is proving very popular.

The original is 35cm square and painted on Arches Aquarelle 640gsm NOT paper with watercolour paints and is now sold.  I only use the highest quality watercolour paper and paints.

For other farm animals paintings please visit my Farm Animal Gallery.  Should you like to commission your own pet portrait (click here).

Shaggy Sheep Print is a signed limited edition of 100.

The limited edition prints are of the highest quality and printed with Archival Inks on Minuet Paper 300gsm, 100% cotton with deckle edges.
You can buy the print framed or unframed, the choice is yours. The framed supplied is white wood grain, light weight with ClearView-PlexGlas and soft white mount. The framed size will be specified above.

Caring for your original watercolour or print:-  To keeps colours bright and protect your print from fading, always hang out of direct sunlight and mount under glass.
Mounted prints will have a white surround  – this type of mounting will not show the decked edges of the print
Deckle edges are rough edges and I choose this finish because I like the look of deckle edges when free floating a print under glass.
Free floating is adhering the print to a piece of mount-board larger that the print so that the rough or deckle edges can be seen when framed. This is an effective and modern way of displaying your prints.
