Shepherds Hut

Oil on 8x10 Gallery-wrapped Canvas (3/4")
Palette Knife Painting
$99.00 (Free Shipping)

While walking down a country lane in southwest France, I came across a strange  looking structure at the end of a field.  Later, I found out that this type of structure is called a  caselle or shepherds hut.  Historically it provided shelter for the local shepherds as they tended their sheep.  It was a place where they could get out of bad weather, rest, spend the night, or perhaps care for an injured animal.  Today they are sometimes used as an animal enclosure or for storage.
Thank you for viewing my palette knife paintings.
