Pig Latin

chicken wth quilt border

“Chicken What?!”, mixed media by Kerry McFall, based on photo from Schmidt’s Garden Center, with permission

My favorite garden center (Schmidt’s of course) published a photo of a chicken  that simply begged to be painted.  I chuckled the whole time I was playing with it.  My resident critic/husband walked past and said, “That really cries out for a caption.”  High praise from Mr. Symmetry!

How about: “I speak Pig Latin, ya know!  And someone clearly just said Icken-Chay Umplings-Day”!!  Then again, a face like that pretty much just speaks volumes on its own.

It also seemed to cry out for a quilty border, so this is a fun way to keep my quilting traditions alive but not have to get out the sewing machine!

I’ve done some chicken sketches before (Chicken Duty, Chickens Do Not Like Firecrackers, Technicolor Betty) but I think this is going to be one of my all-time favorites.
