Wait A Minute  |  12 x 12

What's My Story?
Now wait just a gosh-darned minute, Mr. Magpie! I’m just standing here, minding my own business, and you swoop in and start pecking away at my horns? Don’t ewe know who I ram? Can’t a guy get a little sheep?

Artist's Note:

​One of my favourite things about going for my morning walk in our little village is seeing the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep that live here. The rams are especially interesting to watch — they’re so big, so tough looking with their gnarly, curled horns. And one of the funniest things is when a ram is standing and looking tough…and a magpie swoops down and lands on his back. I don’t know why they do it — maybe to eat seeds that get embedded in the ram’s fur when he’s eating in long grass? Whatever the case, the magpies peck away at the ram’s head and all he can do is stand and look, well…sheepish.
