Bubbles! by Fiona Phipps

Brilliant pastel and a lovely story Fiona.

Wonderful story to this Fiona. I have no doubt that she realises just how lucky she is. Lovely pastel.

I do like the angle that you have drawn it, and the style, however Fiona, you have reduced me to tears with that heart-rendering rescue story. After a bit of fattening up she should make a decent chicken curry.

Thank you very much David and Peter for your comments. Alan, you're wicked! she wouldn't even make a decent pan of soup!

Well Fiona - Bubbles looks like a lively one -it's amazing what you can do with pastels. Sorry the E-mail was such a ramble -don't rush to reply when you could be spending time producing little gems like this.

I love the way you've captured the hens movement. I've tried pastels but they never look like this will have to give them another go sometime !!

I love him! What a cheeky looking hen. You've inspired me to have a go at a chicken photo I've got!

Many thanks Carol, she's a sweetie, very tame and with the added bonus of a fresh egg every day! There is an email on it's way! Thanks Linda, I was just having a play really, wanted to do something light hearted. I can't wait to see your hen Margaret....thank you.

What a wonderful story to go with Bubbles. Looks jaunty.
