Sheep And Greens, golfing sheep painting by Barry Tate
SHEEP AND GREENS
I like to do this style of painting in public as it is always fun to have everyone "participate" in it's creation. Hey, you should put a cow doing... Oh, you've got to have a ...   This painting originally was going to have cows. Before I barely got started one of my neighbours who used to manage a golf course said they have to be sheep - golf  was invented in Scotland!
Off it went on a Scottish theme. Some sheep are in kilts and the ones on the foreground green are sipping Chivas Regal. That cost me a few bucks as I had to go and buy a bottle of the good scotch to see what it looks like!!! A black sheep has just bonked some golfers in the distance while the course marshal sleeps away the day.

ORIGINAL PAINTING:
30" x 40" acrylic  on 3/4" clean-edge canvas.  ( 28x38 face dimension )
A clean-edge painting can simply be hung "as is" for a modern contemporary look, or by using an optional frame that suits your decor.

GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.

Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well.  A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue -  dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like metallic or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant.  Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
