Chickersons

 

It's fun squeeze in a little chicken sketch between custard and pumpkin pie! Hope your Christmas day was full of family and fun!  Each year I paint something special for each of the kids, a different theme each year. Since they talked us into bringing chicks into our lives at Easter, and spent countless hours raising this chicken coop - this is my subject!  Each one is different, and each features all eleven of our chicks.  We affectionately call the "Chickersons"!  Painting number 4742 in 4742 days.

After visiting some favorite places inside the Deanna Rose Farm with Michaela and the boys, I settled on a bench swing to sketch the chickens. With ink and watercolor I painted their shapes, and their sweet sounds accompanied the happy families coming to visit.  The best chicken sounds actually came from a couple of boys - I had to look over to make sure the chickens hadn't gotten out!  Painting number in days.
