Which painting was painted by a sheep?

Art work One Art work Two

One of these paintings was painted by a sheep, and consequently considered worthless, while the other, was painted by a world renowned artist and would fetch well over R500,000 at an auction. The point is can you tell which is which?

Sheep go to Italy!

2007 November

At the end of November, we left for Italy to the Florence Biennale where I had been invited to exhibit. Getting 2m+ paintings there proved a challenge, but Artstuff made collapsible canvases for me and the paintings arrived safely. Over 800 artists from over 70 countries were exhibiting. It was awesome being among such an ecclectic group of artists and viewing such a diverse selection of work. Gilbert and George arrived personally to be interviewed by Tim Marlow from London’s White Cube gallery, which was very entertaining. I was fortunate to have sold all my work, however the emphasis was definately more on show-casing ones work rather than on selling, which made some artists dissapointed. All in all a great experience.
