This is a view looking East towards the Epynt . Two points: first young oaks here have retained their leaves, all brown and shrivelled so far into the winter. On mature trees the leaves have been retained on low down young branches. Could be the dry Summer - who knows. Secondly the poor sheep, looks as astonished as I am that she's there at all. Perhaps it was a mistake, essence of sheep sort of works at a distance but obviously not so close up. I didn't want a photo realistic sheep (not capable anyway) but a more loose interpretation. Anyway she has come out a bit startled if not a tad annoyed at being disturbed . All comments gratefully received
