Baldur - Icelandic Ram Painting

"Baldur"
image size 8"x10" - soft pastel

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!
