Artwork – Daniel Smith Watercolor on Fabriano Artistico on Fabriano Artistico in a Mary Roff handmade sketchbook
You may have seen the meme ‘Live Life Like the Gate was Left Open’, which usually features a photo of a dog running madly and happily. Well, in this case it’s a sheep. Personally, I’m thinking that the gate was not left open, and this guy has lost his marbles.
So I’m claiming it for the Doodlewash prompt of ‘Marbles’.
I saw this photo reference by fsHH on Pixabay and knew I had to include it in my Counting Sheep watercolor sketchbook.

You can read my review of Mary Roff’s excellent handmade sketchbooks here.
Looks like a fun loving sheep to me. Love the expression!
Many thanks Mary! The moment I saw that expression, I thought of the old meme.
LOVE your sheep project! Keep ’em coming…this makes counting sheep fun, NOT sleep inducing!
Lol! Thank you much, Judy!
Hi Sandra, I love your blog. By the way, this is Heidi Simons from Doodlewash 🙂
I don’t know if I have the time to follow all this and Doodlewash and so many other things (because of – you know – life 🙂 ) but I’ve been scrolling here and it’s amazing how varied your art and skills are. Glad to see all this.
Thank you very much, Heidi! Pretty much all the art posted here gets posted on Doodlewash, but I do have some tutorials that aren’t posted there and vice versa.
I don’t believe I’ve seen so many wonderful sheep in so many poses. This one is delightful.
Thank you Sharon! I’ve been scouring Pixabay for fun reference photos. 33 more poses to go!
