There won't be many people who don't look forward to the sight of new-born lambs signalling the start of Spring.  They have so much energy and joy for life.  Young children and animals share this 'joie de vivre' encapsulated in this painting.  A young girl laughs with wonder at both the antics of lambs in a nearby field and the soap bubbles blown for her which capture their reflection. 

My painting also denotes the fleeting moment of this wonder as the soap bubbles can burst at any time taking the lambs reflection with them which, in turn, is indicative of the lambs' brief life.  They are taken away from their mothers to slaughter at only 4 months old.
