Description
Sheep And Willie Wagtail Black And White Pattern by Joan Stratton - One black-faced Suffolk ewe, dressed in a fancy black and white patterned fleece, stands side on but her head is turned forward. I'm wondering if she has felt or noticed the cheeky Australian Willie Wagtail bird that has perched himself on her rear, he is facing away as he is clearly admiring his own shadow cast large above him on a white background.
Hand-drawn painting / graphic illustration from scratch based on my sister's sheep which are a mixed breed of British Suffolk breed and the Australian Merino plus the mischievous Australian Willie Wagtail which is the largest of the Australian fantails. Indigenous mythology is that the Willie Wagtail loiters just at the edge of the camp, close enough to listen in on secret conversations, that they later spread about just like there wings.

Brilliant work Joan, I just love that Willy Wagtail, I tried to capture them on camera when riding our Marino's rumps. The mythology is new to me. Congrats on your Features. L/F

So glad you enjoyed this one Rita! I only found out about the mythology when I researched them :))
