New Zealand Sheared Sheep
It's impossible to drive around either island without constantly gazing out the window... since there might not be any other spot on earth with so much diversified beauty per square foot. Majestic vistas are what New Zealand is known for. And as you soak-up the scenery, be prepared for multitudes of eyes staring right back at you.
No, I'm not talking about the Kiwis or the other friendly inhabitants. It's the fields of sheep which have never learned 'it's not polite to stare'. Perhaps, like this group of sheep, they're just inquisitive as to whether it's their turn to once again be sheared.
Thanks for the wool, sheep. Thanks for posing for this picture too.

Wayyyy before the iPad hit the market I was experimenting and developing ways to use tablet computers as a tool in assisting to create art pieces. Since those ancient days I have pretty much settled on the iPad as the canvas I develop for and finalize much of my art and music with.
Art developed with a Windows tablet... a device which failed to take-off commercially though highly touted by Mr. Gates.

Original blurb explaining what the viewer was looking at...
Hand painted using digital pixels to reflect oil paint on canvas.
The artist is both professionally trained and self-taught in traditional art mediums... as well as utilizing the computer for yet another means to a visual end. The final result is computer art with the look and feel of traditional 'painted' art.
My subjects include the familiar world around us... nature in all it's beauty; the four seasons; people; places; the effects of our involvement upon our world; the animal world; etc. I also accept special orders and paint custom subjects upon request... just contact me!
All limited edition, hand signed prints can be purchased. Please visit us at www.etsy.com/shop/pcao.
