Sara Rosso at the WordPress Daily Post has chosen the theme of ‘Arranged’ for this weeks challenge. I liked the way these brightly decorated sheep were arranged on the Cathedral green!
They were decorated by children in local schools and grazed on the green for the weekend, it’s a pity they didn’t stay.
Lucid Gypsy 
How special. The children did a great job. Nice choice for challenge.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I love these street art animals. We seem to have them across the world now.
Aha Julia you’re still speaking to me then after the 100 word challenge then???
Nice colors. Are they pigs? or cows? I can’t tell!! Thank you for visiting my blog!
I love your blog Cedric!
they are supposed to be sheep but I thought they looked more like pigs 🙂
Yes indeed. Random arrangements are sometimes the most beautiful.
These are very well-nourished sheep. You sure the artist did not make a mistake?
hahaha I agree and they looked more like pigs to me!
The children did a wonderful painting job. I love them, even if they look more like cows.to me.
Wow! What fancy fellows … they are gorgeous.
Just think what amazing wool you can get off these!
Love the colors, well done on the painting and the photo 🙂
nice colours
I felt like jumping when I saw the amazing images. Colorful, bright and beautiful . The sheep statues are just fun to watch…thanks.
These are wild, Gilly. Were they done for some special project in the community, or was it just a school art class project?
I heard about then because the ‘school’ in the hospital where I work decorated one of them. Apparently they were distributed to lots of local schools as a project. The green was covered in them and I found them really magical 🙂
Lovely and colourful if a tad oversized 😉 What are they made of? I have a similar, but much much smaller, brightly patterned ceramic cow that I designed my powder room around 🙂
That sounds like fun! These sounded like metal when I tapped on them 🙂
I love this kind of art. Great post.
That’s neat!
Beautiful, bright, cheerful and who cares if they are sheep, cows or goats. The idea is simply one of that brings a smile to your face and that can only be good.
Several years ago in my town, city council sponsored some local artists to make these curved doors that a painted in all sorts of ways like these animals. They were place all over the downtown core, and while they got attention they didn’t really become popular. Some of them are still around but most are now gone. Maybe if the city had animals like these made, it would have gotten better attention.
This is wonderful. What a shame they didn’t stay
As I followed your link from the Daily Post blog, I was wondering how you managed to get sheep “arranged.” Now I understand. Several cities here in the U.S. have put up urban art projects (and sometimes they are also charity fundraisers) like this. I have a picture of my son kissing a painted “manatee” in Jacksonville, Florida. Lots of fun and a nice post!
How very colorful!! Wonderful!
Wow!
How colorful !
How wonderful!
Great capture! That’s also an unusual arrangement!
Baa, baa….so cute AND colorful AND arranged!
what fun, i would like them on my grass for a while, give the kangaroos something to wonder about!
Love the 2nd photo!
It’s all so colourful and knowing the painting was done by children lifts me up, tickles me, makes me smile. Love it.
Marvellous! What a great idea..
It made me smile.
Delightful image! Thanks for sharing with us!
wow. this is nicely arranged by children’s

Fantastic shots, Gilly – such fun 🙂
What wonderful color and imagination!
It’s like looking at babies. Adorable!
Great entry, Gilly. One of your bests.
so fun! some of their faces look like cows to me.
but in any case, they are very cheerful! what a great click. thanks for sharing.
I love to make & eat lamb shank, but probably not from these sheep 🙂
That is so cute! Great entry hon. 🙂
Love these – have always wished I could make life-size papier-mâché animals to put in my garden. I thought a giraffe (maybe a baby one) looking over the front hedge would amuse children passing. Now where did I put that stack of old newspapers and tub of glue? 🙂
I wouldn’t mind one of those little guys for my garden! A very cheery photo. 🙂

I love the colorful pigs! They remind me of the cows for charity… By the way, your comment and like didn’t show up on my post… Where did you place them? If on a picture, they don’t show up on my blog… Please could you stop by again? TY! 🙂
Love it! The GTA (greater Toronto area) did something similar as a fundraiser a few years ago … only with Moose (of course).
Beautiful entry Gilly 🙂
Oh, these are wonderful!!
That second photo especially is a super duper arrangement all right!
The colorful sheep are surely much missed —
Thanks they are lovely but probably not all weather sheep!
Brought a big smile to my face!
Brilliant!
Our Art League gave big pigs to the artist to paint for a fund raiser for scholarships. They brought in quite a bit of pennies. They should have had a fun raiser, maybe, nest time. They are pretty good little artists. Unusual and fun pix, Gilly. I like your thinking.
Thanks honey, I absolutely loved them and spent quite a while wandering around taking pics 🙂
