New Lambs...




Early for hill sheep here in Ayrshire but Wednesday saw the birth of our first lambs.Twins with a difference...Daddies of two breeds so two very different lambs.
Mum is a jacob/Llyn and one tup was a pure Llyn and one was a Blue Faced Leicester tup.
The
photos show them at 4 days old and they are very evenly matched size and d
evelopment.
The Blue FL , true to its breed is cheeky and very curious. I do love their nature.

Seems a little while since I posted here





The dark month of Jan. flew by in a blur of activity.
One of my most inspiring and thought provoking projects I have been working with was the Holocost Memorial Day event. South Ayrshire council commissioned mini residencies by several local artists to work in different media in many local schools. I worked with Primary 7 and Secondary 3 years. A total of 35 children and young adults who produced not just some amazing art work but some insight into how 'Speaking Out' ( this years given theme ) is so relevant to their daily lives.

The artwork will be on exhibition from the 7th of March to the 14th of March at Holmston House in Ayr.
I will show more of the varied art work here on the blog. Here is a little taster.
