From Rosanne: hehe loving the flock off! you should def do ‘mother flocker’ and ’sexy mother flocker’ and what about ewe in red…as in lady in red. also was thinking for the beach types maybe a shep over looking the sea, ‘room for an ewe’ as in room with a view.
just some thoughts.
Hey Rosanne, thanks for the ideas! Room with a Ewe exists already. ‘Mother flocker’ now thats an interesting one! Hey what do you think of that idea?
From Laura B:
Hi Ann, I was so sorry to miss your exhibition at Steenberg. It looks like it was a great success! I adore your IT ewes.
Suggestion - why don’t you allocate a webpage to collect ideas from people about how they see your ewes evolving further wrt portraying humanity. For instance, when I saw “annual turnover” it instantly sparked off ideas for “balance sheet” and “counting or tagging assets(ewessets)”. The humour of your sheep reverberates for a long time in the mind and encourages the viewer to want to “play along” re word games.
What about “RAMbo”? Must say I have a few people in mind that would luv that “mother flocker” one
Thanks Handa! RAMbo exists, complete with headscarf and weapons! As for Mother Flocker, …mmm will need to pluck up courage for that one. Nice gift for the tyrannical boss/mother-in-law/ex tho? Any orders!!??
Dear Ann, “!!!Yes EWE!!!”
(Just an idea!!) I have not seen that title - but then I am sure I have not seen all your paintings & prints.
Your sheep indeed are an inspiration and never fail to put smiles on faces and do well hanging in offices and boardrooms.

No, “Yes Ewe” does not exist at present. Thing is what is Ewe saying yes to? Is it wine, the Chippendale Rams or a large slice of gooey chocolate cake?
Hi Ann, I saw your paintings at Decorex Cape Town for the first time and can’t wait to get my own special EWE. How about RAMzilla? Samson & EWElila could also be intereting?
Chivonne
Ann, sorry for the late reply ….
No, “Yes Ewe!!!!…….. like in “What??? Who??? ME???” Sheep “Caught Out” scenario - sheep with guilty look, crossed legs, looking absolutely innocent… I can just picture him / her / it …. butter could not melt in his mouth
Ute
How about Rambling - ram with a big bling diamond around its neck. A spin off of your letter is receiving our attention could perhaps be your letter is being dealt with and have a bunch of guys playing cards dealing.

Ye Gadds !! Hail the Sheep Queen !! Stumbled on your aticle in a magazine & couldn’t ewe-ait to access your website to view your art. (Arn’t ewe clever to dangle a carrot by not incl-ewe-ding one single piece of your art in that article! Ewe tickled my fancy. Didn’t ewe feel the least bit sheepish ? The background of the photo doesn’t count. Sheep. ) Have always had a fondness for sheep & absol-ewe-tly love your ewe-ispiring work. Am so happy for you that you are a tr-ewe success story. Well done & enjoy your well deserved cash !
Oh, i forgot to mention ……….. Ewe Rock !!
Ye Gadds, ewe’ve totally ispired me. I have a teenage son, ewe says to tell you he ‘digs’ your art and here are a few suggestions for the yung-at-heart lambs :
Ewe Suck (not nice) Ewe Groovy (cool) Ewe Fly (cool2) Ewe Manky (gross) Ewe Minger (fatty) Ewe Tight (cool3)
Dear Belinda, thanks for the ideas. Ewe suck…..hmmmm. x rated sheep! Ewe minger/manky is very funny but ditto! Ewe Rock exists, should be on the site under general, if not I’ll get to putting it there sometime. Would love to have had many sheep in the magazine, clealry the editor thought otherwise! Thanks for the encouragement. Sheep Queen - I love it!!! Thanks and keep the ideas coming!!!
Hail Ye Sheep Queen! Apologies for not having gone in-depth into the words supplied by my teenage son, ewe would’ve thought they have an x-rated connotation to them ?! The lingo that our youth ewe’s obviously contain mostly double entedre’s. I am so the innocent lamb brought to slaughter. Sorry ! Drat.
OH ewe wicked thing ewe! No apologies needed when it comes to dealing with those of an age where spots out number brains, anything is possible! (I only happen to know the meanings because I have two of the same.) So please, you are most welcome in the fold and next time hopefully this lad won’t pull the wool over your eyes!
Hi,
I saw your work in Cape Town and since i follow your work.
I bought few paintings and i would like to propose you : “Ewe on the moon”
i absolutely LOVE your sheep.. they are my favourite, and the only art I buy. I have gone so far as to paint one wall in my house red, so as to highlight the paintings hanging on the adjacent wall, they look amazing. Ewe Rock
Hi Bianca,
Please email me a pic! Thank-ewe so much for loving sheep!
Guillame
Any ideas for Italian sheep? - have been invited to exhibit there and my Italian is still extremely basic. Think some genuine Italian sheep might be cool.
I will do so asap. I’m going to our house in hermanus this weekend, and I will inevitably end up at the little art gallery on the corner where I have bought a LOT of sheep. I cant’ wait!
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road!
Your blog is interesting!
Keep up the good work!
So inspired by your work at DECOREX. Herewith some ideas, all funky….
Sheepwalker
Sheep shot
Sheep skate
Knee deep in sheep
The sheep is going to hit the fan
“Sheep the most functional English word!”
Get your “sheep” together
You can smoke some “sheep”
Feel like “sheep”
Look like “sheep”
Once you know your “sheep” you dont need to know anything else.
If you are warm and happy in the “sheep” Shut up!
As happy as a pig in “Sheep”
Well I could roll of quite a few more but before you snore….
Bye
Marguerite
thanks so much for doing that! Ewe star!
Hi Marguerite!
Ewe’ve been busy! Clearly no sheep on ewe!
Sheep Skate has to be my favourite! Thanks!
To all of you who have shared your ideas thanks. Will decide on best ideas and announce the winner in next email (Mid September).
Hi Ann,
I am just wondering if ‘grad-ewe-ation’ already exists? I am Grad-ewe-ating in January with a MA in Psychotherapy and would love to spoil myself with one of your paintings! Think I deserve something after the 3 years of the blood sweat and tears! I worked at the Absolute Hotel in Limerick, Ireland and I just love your paintings! It always made me smile!
Regards,
Jo-Anne
No grad-ewe-ation does not exist. Well done for achieving your degree. I have several psychologist friends and I know its a huge amount of work. can certainly do for ewe!
I just love the food and wine ewes… What about “baa hopping”?
Hi, I just met your sheep and I love them! Have you done “Ewe-nanimous”? I picture a sheep with boxing gloves maybe, his hands in the air and three judges holding up the scores. a 1 upside down indicating a 7, a 2 upside down indicating 5 and a 6 upside down with a underscore indicating a 9. Anycase ewe rule!
I love sport!!! I would love to see a ballerina and a fitness model in a bikini with a dumbell in her hand and eyelashes…
crazy apples bout ur art!!!
yeaiihh!!
Helen, Baa-hopping is great - will definately do that!!!
As for Shakespierre “Ewe-nanimous” is also seriosly cool and thanks for the compliments re sheep!
As for Zania….hmmm….on the sport side have done personal trainer sheep, poledancing for ewe, an umpire, a ref etc but this could work. In fact dumb belle could be seriously funny! Thanks guys. Defiante contenders for the six month give away signed numbered print.
Ewe-blue? Love all the happy stuff, but what goes up, must come down. And some of us do at times.
And one for Casablanca. Humphrey Bogart’s line: “Here’s looking at ewe, kid.”
Dear Ann, Visited Clarens recently and I bought the little book with the prints in and just love it. We had a ball in the car readin it… Thanks for sharing your amazing and unique talent with us.
Suggestions: How about “Ewe blew it” ? Maybe “Ewe-resistable” or “Linger-ewe” ?
By Ewe-resistable you were of course refering to the artist?……
Ag mens kan net nie genoeg van jou skapies kry nie!
So paar “ideas” waarmee ek gespeel het….
Bachelor….Baa-chelor
Baa-baa-las… so ou skaapie wat te lank in “skaapstad” was.
Barber… So dat skaap sy baard ook kan laat skeer en ‘n haircut kan kry.
Baba-ewe…. Dalk ‘n skaap met ‘n pram…
Wel ek kan nie wag om te sien wat skaap nog als gaan aanvang nie!
Baa-baalas that is excellent will start one today.The others will work well. Have got the IT guy to put a special Paintings/Afrikaans page on the site. Watch it in the weeks ahead to see some of these paintings appear there.There ia also a seperate section for Afrikaans sheep in the new book thats due out in Feb: The New Ewe!Baie Dankie Juanita!!!
Junaita, let me have your address and I’ll send you a free 20×20cm painting of Baabaalas (think you’d prefer this to a print?) to say thanks and you’re the winner of the ideas for the past six months. Next selection will be July 2009. So send ideas!!!
As I am a big red wine lover. My husband bought me Skaapstad for my birthday and I have fallen in love with all the EWEs.
Have you created DracEWEla? I love vampires. If you have already painted DracEWEla, kindly post on your webpage.
Some random idea:
The BlEWE bloods - depicting the royals
MEWEsic appreciation:
Elvis - BlEWE Moon
Have uploaded Draewela under paintings/general for ewe! Sheep get I like Mewesic appreciation best. Thx and I am also rather fond of wine!
Hi Ann!!!!
Wow!!! Ek is so bly!!!! Dankie ek kan nie wag om my painting te kry nie!!!!
Ek sal aan nog ‘n paar idees dink en sal jou op hoogte hou!
Hi, I am really not creative but I was thinking about a Pepperdewe! A bright red Pepperdewe.
And a Qewerty keyboard for the IT buffs.
No I can’t stop…this is addictive
StEWEd: a drunk sheep
More that a fEWE: a crowd of ewe’s
EWEan McGregor: Trainspotting (ewe with bino’s watching trains)
EWE turn: a sheep doing a turn
Not really creative!! I think ewe clearly are Simon! When I was exhibiting sheep in the UK, this eccentric poet came along and gave me Ewean McGregor. His concept of how it should be portrayed however was very different - nuff said! Ewe turn exists, I like Qewerty had not heard of the term. A peppered ewe….hmmm likewise stewed could work. Carry on with the addiction!!!
Hi Ann,
I was at the Dome this past weekend and saw your stand. I love your work!! I finally have a reason to put sheep pics all over my house!!.
Some of my ideas are:
Ewe tu, Brute? (prehaps two sheep with a new look and another sheep looking on)
Meet my flocks (young sheep and it’s parents)
A Good Ram is hard to find.
A bee in ewe bonnet
No fleece off me
Ewe Biscuit (like zoo biscuit) or kick it ewe biscuit!
Graze Rage, or Ram rage (play on road rage)
Sheep from around the world - Ninja Ewe, Rasta Ewe (with dreadlocks), French ewe with a beret.
Hope you like some of them.
Hi Tineka,
I love Ewe tu, Brute! Rasta ewe (keep on grass!) should be on the site somewhere under “general” or “professions” ! Ewe biscuit is cool - thought it was only my buddy who said that but clealry its more common. Keep up the ideas!!
Hi Ann!
Dankie vir my skaapie… stunning hoor!
Nog ‘n paar idees…
Barbie…. Pa-baa, Ma-baa & Ba-baa… Bewety Pageant…
En my persoonlike gunsteling…. “Japie my Skaapie”
My toekomstige man se naam is Japie…
Geniet die dag!
oooo…..
Wat van “Bewety and the Beast” ….
nog….
“to graze or not to graze”
William Sheepspeare….
I love to “graze or not to graze!” Baabie is in the New Ewe book - How to change Barbie to Baabie - there ’s a sheep mask etc bit wacky but hope its enjoyed! Veels geluk met Jaapie! Pabaa, Mabaa is fun - looks like you had a fun time with sheep!
Dankie ek het baie pret met die “sheep”….
As jy ooit “Japie my skaapie” verf laat weet my… ek deps die eerste een!
Till then…
Sheep out!
Hi Ann,
Why not “ewe the musketeer” or the musketewer” ?
Bye
Guillaume
And e-weal
Do you remember the Ewings from Dallas, Texas ? What about “The Ewe-ings”, sheep with Cowboy Hats holding a glass of scotch whiskey !
I do indeed remember the Eweings (shows the age!!!)Bobby and the ever nasty JR! Yes this could work.
possibly an addition to corporate merger could be ‘the joint venture’, the long and winding, often hilly road forcebly holding hands…the illusion of good intentions
I went to the CTICC for the book show and low and behold an original artist.Have you ever had a sheep funeral…ewe-logy or a baa-ber cutting fleece. Sheep postal service lamb-post , sheep therapy ( a sheep counting matchstickmen).An Australian four wheel drive sheep is a ewe-te. I want to theme a room at my guest house with your sheep so a signed print would come in handy
Hi Shani, Like the Joint Venture….however I must admit my mind conjured up something else for joint!!!! But it could certainly work either way. Have considered ewe-logy but not sure anyone would want to buy it given the theme! Ewe-te is good. This best sheep idea ends 30 June 2009 so ewe’ve only got a couple of weeks left!
The SA Rugby Team, the Springboks, maybe you could have a smaller rugby team - the Springskaaps, not sure …. I love rugby and loved your All Blacks one.
How about a penaltewe kick in rugby or an Ewe try score ……
For Karatewe, chop sticks, etc. Also love your Baafana one.
Hi Merle,
re Karate, a friend came up with Kung F’ewe for a painting for a visiting karate teacher which was fun. Have done “Ewe Beauty” for rugby with a sheep (SA naturally) scoring a try. Also Ewenited for soccer. There must be many more related to rugby…will put the mind to work! Thx for your input.
Manskaap
Boodskaap
Gereedskaap
Landskaap
Swangerskaap
Gevangeskaap
Gemeenskaap
Ramshoring
Hi Janie these are some great ideas, particulalry manskaap. Thank-ewe and hope you had fun thinking of them. You’re a definate contender for this six month best idea (ends 30 December) Shani won the last one - contact me so I can send your print to you.
how about “mof-skaap”? I will buy it!!!!
Verskoon my, maar ek verstaan nie. Ok ek is ‘n soutie. Wat beteken “mof-skaap”? As ek weet dan kan ek dit vir jou verf!
Love, love, love your work!!!!
Would love to see a “Yoga for Ewe” sheep
I am an IT Lecturer and have some of your “IT Sheep” in my office. The students LOVE it!
What about the classic 3 wise monkeys “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”, but this time with 3 wise sheep “see no ewe-l, hear no ewe-l, speak no ewe-l”?
Ewe can’t be serious !! A sheep pulling a silly face !!
Hi Anne, have you done screenshot? (Ewe shooting computer screen) or alternatively screen-dump.
(Ewe taking a poo on computer)?? Love the IT ewe’s.
Great website! Love the content you have on here. Please keep up the good work and I will be sure to visit quite often. Thanks much!
Hi Ann!
Loving the sheep more than ever…
How about beach boys (sheep on beach, or sheep with beach ball) singing “Baaaaa-rbara Ann”?
Think it’s funny as YOU ARE ANN!!! lol..
Julius Baaaa-lema? (sheep with a big mouth)
Trevor Ramuel.. (sheep with money, pity he’s not minister of finance anymore)
Capp-ewe-cino… (Italian sheep with cup)
Lol… I can’t get these little buggers out of my mind now!
How about
“Swine Fl-ewe” (a sneezing sheep!)
I keep thinking in sheep-lingo! lol
How about Swine Fl-ewe… (a sneezing sheep!)
Esti, Julius I like, then there’s Cyril Ramaphosa! And I’d just love to do something on Zuma’s latest antics…..
Cappewecino is good. Only started drinking coffee 2 years ago and now just love those 3 cups a day!
Glad to hear your students appreciate my sheep Nicky!
I miss my coffee… but it gives me migraines!
Have you done the Grad-ewe-ation one someone above mentioned?
I’m completing my honours degree in 2 weeks and would love to treat myself to that one too!
Yes I have done, as well as Ewe-niversity! What size for graeweation? Well done you must be very releaved study is coming to an end! And sorry to hear re coffee
Hi ann, Thanks for the pictures they are fabulous.
Being a scientist i would love some for my office, so i thought maybe something lie albert ewenstein or b-a-a-d scientist (explosion) or mad scientist with a sheepsih grin (an erhlenmeyer flask boiling over, goggles and a lab coat…) Please let me knwo if you ahve any of these.
thanks
Tracy
Hi Ann!
Long time…
Just wanted to say I still love the sheep and I want to get the Gradeweation one soon!
Regards!
Esti
Thanks Esti - take it the end of studies are drawing closer then?
This may be e repeat, but have you done Rameo and Jeweliet?
Thanks!
Ginger
yes I did - about 18 months ago - Rameo and Eweliet - sold through a gallery so not sure who owns it!
Hi. How about a profession targeted ’skaarpitect’? (obviously architect)
or
very narrow audience range though - a sheep (architect) pointing at a tuscan villa (the kind you find in suburbs round south africa, not tuscany), and saying ‘ewe’ as in yuk.
That would work - have had a number or architects requested paintings for themselves or clients.
Hi there Ann
Just seen our write up (saved by my mother in law) in the Tygerburger. Congrats on something unique and all the best for your new book.
I suggest: “I WANT EWE!” Thinking initially more romantically inclined, but then the “We Want You” USA army poster for recruits also pops up.
I would love to have you over for a cup of tea or a lamb sandwich sometime. We echo your story like you would not believe.. I am actually going to send you a separate mail about this.
“Ewe Just to Good to be true…Can’t take my Eyes off of EWE!”
Here’s Looking at EWE Kid.. This one from my wife…
Can’t stop, the ideas just pop up. When you started, you must have laid awake at night with ideas flooding you? Is it still the same?
This is just awesome.
Love the “Ewe just to good to be true…” one of my dad’s favourite songs - can still hear him singing it.
I want ewe is also cool - would need to break traditional layout for sheep but thats also cool. :Here’s looking at ewe kid” have done previously sheep with hat and cigarette etc but a really nice one. in movies also have done “dances with sheep” “Rambo” “Dracewela” “Silence of the Lambs” and some others. re lying awake at night yes I do but them usually have forgotten the idea in the morning. Otherwise when driving - am still trying to figure out what I’ve written on the back of a CD cover whilst driving that apparently at the time I thought was a great idea….
Flock ewe
Ewe knit
Ewe knit rust
Ewes less
Ewephemism
Ewe rope
Eweranium
Shear genius
May the force be with ewe
ewe knighted
Tea for Ewe?
Damn fine idea!!!
