In preparation for an upcoming show at Jubilee Biodynamic Farm in Carnation, WA, I've been trying my hand at painting farm animals. I thought I'd start with this little family of chickens.

I have a soft spot in my heart for chickens. We keep 4 hens in our backyard, and besides the delicious fresh eggs they provide, they also make surprisingly great pets. We've handled them since they were chicks, so they're incredibly tame and like to follow us around the yard when we let them out of their enclosure. David & I have even recently started a blog about our chickens, since we've been getting a surprising number of emails with questions about raising an urban flock.

Anyway, more farm animals - as well as a lot of new bison paintings - will be up shortly.

Chick-a-dees!

We brought home 6 baby chicks a few weeks ago, and I wanted to share some pictures of them with everyone! They've been way too much fun. We have to keep them in a box in the house at night, but now that they're bigger, we're able to put them outside in a moveable coop. These pictures were taken when the chicks were still fluffy and adorable...they've now entered into the awkward adolescent stage, which is a particularly awkward time for chickens. They're very dinosaur-like.
