Eagerly Awaiting Their Arrival!

THE LITTLE TRAVELING CHICK

IS ON HER WAY TO ME, Y A H O O ! !

HOPEFULLY SHE WILL BE ALL IN ONE PIECE!

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT OUR UPCOMING ADVENTURES, THAT I  HAVE  BEGUN DRAWING AND PAINTING TC AND HER TROUPE FROM JILL POLSBY'S PHOTOS.

I'VE NEVER HAD A CELEBRITY COME VISIT

AND PLAN ON SHOWING EVERYONE A GRAND OLE TIME.

 I'VE GOT SO MANY IDEAS,

THEY MAY NEED TO STAY HERE FOR WEEKS!

Not Her Type

My, that Traveling Chicken is a cute gal. She really made an impression of my little friend here.  He quickly offered her a Tsingtao beer, but she said she preferred the South of the Border type (from what I've read in more ways than just her beer selection.) They agreed to let me paint them together - acrylic on watercolor paper - while they chatted. I must say he got all wound up for her, but she was kind and let him down easy. So now she and her "troop" are nearly packed up and ready to fly off to Sandy Sandy in New Jersey. I do hope in the future she'll come back for a return visit. We could go to Malibu beach, Disneyland,  Hollywood, Beverly Hills......
Thanks to you all for the comments on my blog regarding our little friend here. And, Azra, if we all get to travel around a bit via her, then we have you to thank for sending her out bravely into the world. (She's only been smashed once, hopefully that'll be it!)
Cheers and God's Peace!

Chicago to Quebec, Part VI

Post From Ann Feldman, Chicago:

Here's the latest on the traveling Troop of Chickens:  They arrived here in Chicago a few weeks ago from Jill's house.  The Little Yellow Chicken (or Le Petite Poulet as she is known in Quebec) accompanied me to Quebec City and Montreal for a week of sightseeing and listening to jazz at the International Jazz Festival.  Her feathers were a bit ruffled after she got re-routed to Newark for one night when the suitcase she was tucked into went to Quebec via the scenic route!  I tried to explain to her that it was for her own good that she spent the night in a sturdy shoe.  

But all was very well after she was placed into many beautiful flower boxes for her portrait.  She even managed to be captured in a couple of toy store windows and restaurant table setups.  As her temporary host mom, I've been busy painting away, finishing up these little paintings now that we're home.  

This is a painting of our dear chicken in a Quebec flower box.  Doesn't she look happy there?  She is a wonderful travel companion, and she picks up new languages quite easily-- "Le Clucque" is her favorite new phrase!

And now she is with Karen Stitt in California.  Looking forward to hearing how she's doing!
