This painting is done on Jack Richeson pastel paper. It's very toothy and the pastels handle differently on this surface. I like the pre-tinted terra cotta background.
Baldur is an Icelandic ram from Pondview Farm in Limington, ME. I met and photographed him in 2009 on Farm Day... his rough white horns and heavy curly coat were the perfect subject to try with this new paper!
