A Hunter's Dream
Painting No. 17-J-12
8"x 10"
oil on canvas board
I was introduced to these petroglyphs by some locals while I was painting on location outside of Moab, Utah. This group is called the "TV Sheep" because of their obvious shape. The biggest sheep is approximately 16" tall. It's assumed that the images date between A.D. 500 and A.D. 1500. The countryside is full of similar examples of rock art, and I really enjoyed every one that I came across during my stay.
