Description:

Mum's Colored Sheep FlockBy Donna SuttleWe were deep in the Australian Outback. Our previous three nights had been pretty basic, a clearing in the side of the road or off a side road and we were craving a few amenities, when an oasis appeared in the form of a beautiful, crisply maintained campground. When we checked in we were invited to the screening of a movie about the building of the campground and Mum's colored sheep flock. We showed up at the appointed time, along with almost all of the other campers. What we got was a very well produced film about rammed earth construction, kangaroos, and Mum's colored sheep flock. It was fascinating, but I have to admit to a little disappointment; the words Mum's Colored Sheep Flock had flashed this picture into my head.I knew it was a fantasy but in the Land of Oz one can hope for an anomaly or two. Sadly the sheep were of every color a sheep can possibly manifest but there were no teal blues or purples. But I can dream, can't I?ACEO ATC OOAK 3.5 x 2.5 inches - Original Acrylic Painting – NOT A PRINT -Condition is New - Shipped with USPS First ClassText from the book, Symbols for Seekers, Dreamers, Visionaries, Artists, Rebels, and Oracles.
