Rustic pictures from Auchenstroan Wool. Bring the countryside into your house and create a rustic living room. Choose from our rustic pictures of sheep in their natural environment in the rustic hills of South West Scotland.
Our sheep, Coloured Ryelands, are free to roam all our available pasture. They are often referred to as “teddy bear sheep” because they are darker in colour and woollier than most sheep. Their resemblance to teddies makes them very cute and of course very photogenic. My brother Matty, an artist, enjoys painting rustic scenery and didn’t take much persuasion when asked to paint these pictures of our sheep.
We thought it would be lovely to be able to offer “cute sheep rustic pictures” of our flock going about their business against the stunning backdrop of the Galloway Hills. After all, no rustic room is complete without a sheep picture.
At present, we have six to choose from, but expect to be able to add more. After all, sheep are not painted in a day.
These sheep rustic pictures are available as mounted prints, framed prints and the original painting itself. The latter is, obviously, unique.
You can see other examples of Matty’s work at artistmatty.uk.
Farmhouse Décor
With the warm, earthy colours of the sheep set against the backdrop of the Scottish countryside, these will cosy up your room and bring a flavour of rural Scotland to any room in your home. If you love farmhouse décor and rustic accessories these pictures give you a little piece of Scottish farm life without you even having to put your wellies on to enjoy it.

All our prints are produced from original sheep paintings by Matty Lamb. Each print is printed on smooth-textured, heavyweight matt paper and is available mounted or framed.
Rustic Picture as a Framed Print
