Bring 'em home, Squirty!" (con't)

While staying on a sheep farm in New Zealand,
my wife and I watched Squirty work the sheep
as his owner Tony called and whistled to him
from high atop an emerald green hill. I feel in
love with everything about that day.
What an adventure, you couldn't have pleased
me more with a million bucks! 
Once back at my studio in Tucson
I created this piece and have been
in touch with Tony, his wife Sarah
and Squirty ever since.
