sheep picnic, machen mountain

this was taken from a photograph one late afternoon on machen mountain. the sun was quietly going down and the sheep were happy grazing among the newly cut down trees in the field. these sheep seemed somewhat amused at me taking photos of them chewing away. i called it 'sheep picnic' as they seemed to be just enjoying the moment with not a care in the world and a field full of grass to chew on.

this work has been shortlisted for the 'Kyffin Williams drawing Prize 2009'.

Hi ,My name is steffan johnson, I'm from wales, near a place called caerphilly. I love to paint and raw and am in the process of relearning skills and tricks and tips I didn't get taught in art school. Funny as it may seem, techiques and basics wheren't the focus of what I was mostly taught in University, so I've set about trying to relaern and graft at what painters have done for years, and that is to study the art of drawing and painting. Form, shade and light, etc etc are key things I am interested to learn and know, so heres a little selection of work I've done, most of it fairly recent. Hope you enjoy looking at it. I am open for commisions of all sorts - so if you have a still life set up you like or want somebody to paint let us know I'd be happy to paint it. Or anything for that matter - abstract, traditional or contemporary, I'd be well up for giving it a go.

regards,Steff
