Original artwork description:

Photorealistic wildlife animal portrait of a bighorn sheep with the white bird wings. I channel my enthusiasm for the amazing characteristics of animals by rendering them with academic oil painting techniques on canvas.

I love to paint animal horns. Each of them has a remarkable shape and texture and color. This sheep has amazing huge curved horns and a greyish brown coat. The background is dusty lavender color. The red sun indicates life & the universe.

The bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) is a species of sheep native to North America. It is named for its large horns. A pair of horns might weigh up to 14 kg (30 lb). Male bighorn sheep have large horn cores, enlarged cornual and frontal sinuses, and internal bony septa. These adaptations serve to protect the brain by absorbing the impact of clashes.
