Ten famous paintings of sheep

James Browning Wyeth, son of artist Andrew Wyeth, is a contemporary American realist painter. Influenced deeply by his father, Wyeth's favorite subjects are people, animals and landscapes around him. You can often see a beautiful stretch of coastline, seagulls, and a hay stack in the sunshine in his paintings. He often notes: "I paint my life." In the Portrait of Lady, he tried to portray a ewe like a privileged lady. No matter where she went or wanted to go, she always belongs to her homeland.
