Calling All Artists!

Our little chick project has stalled, I'm afraid. I really don't want to end this challenge idea, but I'm having a bit of trouble trying to find artists on the waiting list that are available to paint Ms. Chick.

I realize that many of you signed on quite a long time ago. Unfortunately, once the momentum stops on challenges such as this, it becomes hard to get it going again. So I'm asking for a bit of help!

Please reply via a comment on this post if you are on the waiting list & can take on the challenge now (and over the next few weeks). I will reorder the Waiting List based on the comments I receive back here. I think this is much easier than my trying to contact each artist one by one.

A big thank you to all who have painted Ms. Chick in the past. And to any that are still interested and believe they have some time for a painting visit, please step forward! Let's see if we can get Ms. Chick happening again!

Big chicken and duck party in Emmen, Netherlands:)

Big party in Emmen, The Netherlands!


I already had told my Duck that a guest would come, but we did not expect 3 guests. Great party!!


What did they had much to discuss with each other. It was all cackle. Also at night. But that was no problem. How often does there a chicken family come along that has seen the whole world?

And what do they have spoiled me. As you can see they have cooked for me. Boiled eggs, fried eggs, pancakes with eggs, cake with eggs. It was a wonderful time:)

Unfortunately, it was time to say goodbye.
They are now on the way to the USA to Karen Boe.
I miss them already. and my Duck is all alone again.

Ms Chick and her company in Greece!




oil on canvas
10" x 12" (25 x 30 cm)
When Ms Chick and her company came here I didn't believed it.  All the family gathered around the box to welcome her.  My cat, Merlin, didn't want to show it but he was sooo jealous of the attention we were showing to them.  He became more jealous in time when we started going around with her and Mr. Rooster and her friend.  Ms Chick seemed to have a lot of fun but her Rooster didn't stop talking even for a minute. That was a problem, especially during the night or very early in the morning.  Ms Chick was happy to find out that I am a vegan and she was not in danger here, at least with me. 
This painting is from a rest we took after a big walk. They are all discussing their experience here on a wooden seat at the city park of Katerini.  We took a lot of photos but it seemed to most of us that the above was the best one.
Below they are posing near a small lake by the bridge.  
We are so sad now that Ms Chick and her company are going to leave for the Netherlands.  But they will go on to an other adventure and keep traveling all around the world.  I am so jealous!...  Thanks for the visit Ms Chick and come back any time. :)
