It was so fun to capture the antics of these cuties at Sunflower Hill Farm! While two were butting heads, another watched cautiously from the sideline. The paper I use is handmade cotton rag, and each batch is artisan made. What this means is every batch is different - and this batch felt like there was no sizing in the mix or on the surface. So, the paper soaked up paint like crazy - and seemed to fade as it dried. I had to reapply paint and ink until finally it remained. I love exploring new papers, even when they require much more work on my part! Painting number 4871 in 4871 days.
