Meet True Blue Ewe,
She features her drover, holding his shepherd's crook, sitting contemplatively by a beautiful cool billabong. The sheep are grazing peacefully, in lush paddocks, with mountains and hills in the distance, that resemble our local mountain range – The Grampians. She depicts the Aussie version of the well loved psalm 'The Lord is My Shepherd.' True Blue was painted by local christian artists across 3 denominations: Michelle, Margaret and Kerryn. She sits in front of the Kaniva Men's Shed, home to many retired farmers who understand this story!
