Paint Your Pet Buffy Workshop

Lydia attended her fourth "Paint Your Pet" workshop on 28/11/2022.

This time, Buffy was chosen for a portrait painting

(Buffy died suddenly 05/10/2021).

Lydia did some pre-class homework and drew Buffy's

outline on canvas using the grid method of drawing.

A nice light blue sky colour was chosen for the background of the artwork.

Buffy's body colour is beginning to fill in.

More shading is added using acrylic paints.

Buffy seemed to 'come alive' once her eyes were painted.

Bianco Turns 3

Bantam white leghorn hen Bianco turns 3 years old this month.

Speckles ('the boss') stands behind Bianco.

You can see Lexi's white tail sticking up in the background.

Bianco was going to be a 'show bird' before COVID hit.

She is a very noisy little hen.

Bianco is a timid hen and characteristically gets scared easily and runs away.

She runs like the roadrunner!

Bianco loves food. Here she is with a bowl of laying pallets on a sunny morning.

Bianco eats small pieces of lettuce. She's on the bottom

of the pecking order and often eats after the other hens.
