Chicken Scratch Portraits!

Portraits are difficult, especially when you're drawing children or animals. The fear of not getting a likeness can make even the best artists, "chicken."

Yet, I figure there's no reason to be chicken of doing a portrait of a chicken-- after all, it takes one to know one, and so a chicken oughta know best how to draw a chicken!

Here are portraits of two of our "ladies" -- Ivy the Blue Ameraucana, and Esmeralda ("Ezzy" for short) a Black Silkie on loan to us from friends of ours (we're letting Oreo and Ezzy become parents).
