Pioneering Chicken

8x6 oil on canvas
Available via DPW auction

The traveling chicken and her entourage arrived safely in Fort Madison, IA on April 24th.  A photo op on the banks of the Mississippi was in order. It was too windy to get close to the water so a safe place on a flat rock worked well for their portrait.
Their arrival came just in time for spring flowers and all the pretty magnolias and tulips in bloom(they preferred the dandelions).

A tour of the old fort, or rather a tour of the old fort chicken coup, was a must do on any chicken’s bucket list. 
They found a nice place in the recess of the Old Fort that sheltered them from the wind. With a little Photo-shopping they got a nice photo to remind them of the great time they had on their historic visit. 


Thanks to Nan Johnson for keeping this going.

  4. Great job! I was wondering if the cigar box is still holding up. Has it fallen apart yet?
