On the first night of our first visit to the Western Mass area, while we were house hunting in fact, Scott and I ate at a cozy little deli/cafe in Amherst called The Black Sheep Deli.  The food was great, the people were super-cool, and the atmosphere was very laid back.  We have gone back for lunch many times since then, and each time has been a wonderful experience.  Recently, we stopped in for lunch, after checking out the yummy treats at The Amherst Farmer’s Market.  On this trip I happened to take special notice of the lovely black sheep themes art in the cafe, and was inspired to create a black sheep piece of my own.

This piece, entitled “Black Sheep’s Baking Day,” features an apron clad black sheep happily baking up a storm.  An image of this collage is pictured here, along with some scenes from The Black Sheep Deli.  If you happen to be in the Amherst area, be sure to stop in for a bite…you won’t be disappointed!  Oh, one more thing…anyone who takes the time to leave me a comment on this post from now until June 6th, 2009 will be entered to win a print of “Black Sheep’s Baking Day!”  Good luck!
