More Chicken House work

20 May 2020

Still no chickens, but to protect the feeding flap, and make it jolly, I painted some welcoming former residents of the homestead.

 Dave was concentrating on cutting and varnishing a sink top for the outdoor kitchen - in the shade of an olive tree.

 A rough-and-ready sketch taken from life drawings of some of our previous chickens, painted in acrylic on canvas paper, stuck and stapled to the wooden flap, then varnished over.  It's not a precious work, so if it doesn't last I can always do another.

 The completed feeding flap, with tidied up green shade cover.  All smart and ready.

After a bike ride out - coming home to the cat greeting us at the garden gate.
