What fun it was to paint the whole chicken flock as they wandered down the hill at Sunflower Hill Farm! I was halfway through a small painting when it was time to start this morning's paintout. As I pulled out the fresh sheet, these girls began their meander down the hill! I sketched and painted only the chickens until they had moved out of sight. Then I began filling in the rest of the scene! I've learned through the years that one must paint what is seen - before it flies the coop! It was an absolutely gorgeous day for painting! I'm so happy this painting found a good home with a brand new collector, too! Painting number 4860 in 4860 days.
