Wake up call

Comments

I like this, Linda. A composition with impact, love the majestic chicken.

Like this Linda, really well painted and I like the latge disc too.

I’m facing a similar situation Linda, not because of foxes but more because of the tie. I’m down to my last hen (Who is ten years old) after like yourself, breeding modern game for many years.....as well as having the odd few backyard hens. Do you miss them? This fellow is a magnificent example and I like how you have composed him with the moon.

Thank you all so much for such generous comments. Fiona - I really do miss our chickens. Their gentle burblings and constant movement made the garden seem alive but the relentless attention of the foxes finally proved too much to bear.

Wake up call due to the full moon? Yes I know this "Problem"

We’ve kept rare breed poultry for nearly 30 years but have had to give up now the foxes are too clever for us. Such a shame as they were great characters. Last night’s full moon gave me the inspiration for the metallic disk.
