When I was little we had a chicken named Archie. . . I couldn't quite understand how Archie ended up as dinner.

Doing the chicken dance.
These are way cool.

Fowl. Are chickens fowl? Are these roosters or hens? Did you think of their sex before drawing them? Just wondering. You do good work. I can see that from the sublime to the ridiculous is but a short leap. You start with one, then expand to include a gallery. I am amazed by your creative talent, and I am not joking one bit! Nice!
Peace

How colourful and gorgeous your chickens are!! And, of course, so practical!! Great haiku! =)
Posted by: Rosie | July 22, 2011 at 02:45 PM
I LOVE THEM!!! Yes yes, I agree, keep painting these!
You inspire me! I started 3 chicken paintings about 6 years ago, and never finished them... I wonder where they are?
I have been catching up with you, and Miss Stephanie, you are always up to pure goodness. There is such an incredible vibe that emanates from your creativity.
Love, V
