Mountain Baby - Bighorn Sheep by wildlife portrait artist Carl Brenders

Mountain Baby - Bighorn Sheep by Carl Brenders, available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

 

 

"These can be very curious when you meet them on the trail, almost touching your hand.  The unforgettable feeling you get then is what I wanted to capture in my painting.  The most interesting encounters are those on the slopes with birch bush in autumn colours, as these colours fit very well with the neutral brown of the sheep."  - Carl Brenders.
