Day 21 - Snowman Ornament

Day 9 - Snow Sheep

Title: Snow Sheep

Medium: Watercolor, Marker

Inspiration: On the flight down to Miami, I was feeling my typical 'I hate flying!' feelings, when suddenly the little kid next to me said that all the clouds outside look like floating sheep. I looked out the window and it was so magical it got me through all that flying anxiety. Another cool thing about today is it's my niece's birthday and she absolutely loves sheep! ;)
