Could it be a new art form?

Painting live sheep and cattle in bright, brilliant colors might become the
next big fad in Scotland. One farmer painted his flock of sheep (grazing
on a pasture just off M-8 highway at Bathgate in West Lothian) bright red,
aiming to entertain passing motorists and to "spice things up" a little.

This colorful tradition is ages old in Ireland and Scotland, where farmers
were painting sheep red, or marking them with color - to make them easier
to find.
