Springtime Sheep on Almscliffe Crag, Yorkshire (Original, Framed) Newcastle upon Tyne Framed: Yes - Matt whitePainted outside, I captured this scene in front of Almscliffe Crag, an imposing ancient millstone grit outcrop. The sheep belong to Liddles farm and every year they occupy this field in Spring, having lambed. The mothers carefully looking after their offspring. I used a stone and fallen twig from the Crag to paint with, dipping the end into acrylic paint and applying it to the watercolour paper. It was a delight to observe the sheep and their lambs
