Black Sheep

"They called me different like it was something to be ashamed of, I called it a gift."
- Nat Berhe

A massive black sheep stands at the center of a towering blue sky, its body emerging from a sea of fire that licks at the bottom third of the canvas. The animal's coat is marked with a raw red slash and a teal patch of paint, branded by something other than nature. Its pale eyes hold steady, unflinching. Part fable, part self-portrait, this 24" x 36" painting turns the outcast's label into a proclamation: standing in the flame and refusing to move.
