The Shepherdess

I got this vintage print at a thrift store for $3 dollars! I painted the frame (previously cream) with my favorite color...

The print caught my eye when I saw the words "shepherdess", as I often joke to Farmer J that I'm like the woman in this picture, all about the dream of the bucolic country life and much less interested in the messy underbelly of rural living, like poo!

After buying the print and bringing it home, I showed the picture to J. I said, "Look, a shepherdess!" J said, "Yeah, but where are the sheep?"

Details, details!

Oddly enough, this is the second piece of art I've come across entitled, "Shepherdess". The artwork below I saw in person at an art museum in Milwaukee! I quickly grabbed the post card size print from the gift shop as a little momento from our trip!
