11 in. x 14 in. - Gathering sheep off the coast of Maine on a small island, this young boy can be found quick instep behind his father. The crook that he holds in his right arm has unseen notches at the bottom, that represent each visit this boy has made to the island. His father wields a similar crook and they move forward, side by side, directing sheep off the rocks and moving them across the island to be shorn. This is a strong family tradition for both father and son. They have grown up coming to this remote island. In this drawing, Turner, inspects an old sheep bone found on the path.
