#224 thru #227 More Birds 10/14/19

I worked on some hens tonight....thought I should round out the family, so there's a rooster, a chick and two hens now.  I'm thinking I should call the hen painting "the girls".  A few weeks ago at the Farmer's Market, one of the vendors was telling a story and mentioned that her girls poop all over the eggs when it's rainy....and another vendor had a look of horror on her face and said, "your girls do what??"  The other vendor said, "not my children, my girls are my hens!"

All of the birds went along fairly easy tonight....got all 4 down in one evening, however I did get to bed pretty late!  I selected a guinea hen to paint, only because a customer at the Farmer's Market was looking at the tiny easel paintings and remarked that if I had a guinea, she would buy it, as she just loves her guinea hens.  When I googled them, I was a bit taken aback as I didn't realize quite how odd their heads were.  I thought perhaps I had googled some sort of weird Amazon version of a Guinea, but all the images looked the same.  So, there's a Guinea Hen available, should that woman come back to the Market!

And two more robins, because everybody loves robins!!!
