We have a few chickens left from the original free ranging flock. Out here in the country the devilish foxes have taken a few. Chickens are fabulous seedling thinners--that is both bad and good--and bug catchers. We are alike in one area that we all  would rather be outdoors and in the gardens.

With all of the snow we are having it doesn't deter the girls much. Snow is one of those things that can be painted many different ways, warm or cool.    Here is how I painted a white chicken on white snow with a palette knife in acrylics. Not just any chicken but one of my little chickens.  

Stop by The Artists Gallery in Frederick Maryland this month of February. Hours are Friday - Sunday 12-5pm. A  floral-bouquet-palette-knife painting of mine is for sale there in the Le Salon show. You can find me on Twitter now.
