This weeks Illustration Friday topic is "Suit". Since it was in the 90s today and m-u-g-g-y I had swim suits on the brain.
Keeping with my polka dot and chicken theme for the day, here's my illustration "Penny in her Red Bikini".
I don't think chickens swim... float maybe, but not swim. But I bet all the girls would look marvelous in a red polka dot bikini!

Absolutely adorable! You are s-o-o-o-o-o talented! Just tell Penny to watch out for the roosters if she's going to be running around bottomless!!!! Hope to see this as a WS stamp! Keep 'em coming!

TOO CUTE!! A chicken in a bikini, hahaha. I absolutely love it!!! Maybe you should make one for one of your chickens put it on and take a photo to make a card. It's so delightful and such a funny thought, TFS.

Ummmmm, where are her bottoms? What a bold little chicken, to be swimming with no bottoms.
tee hee!

Your talent is amazing! She is adorable!

Anna, your chicken is just great! We get worried when the weather gets really warm, FIL is a turkey farmer, the birds just want to lay on their backs and roast....ack....not yet, not till we get them to market!

This is so adorable! What is it about (some) women and chickens? I love them too. My neighbor keeps a small flock and it is my great joy to "chicken sit" when she is away on vacation.

Is there such a thing as a 'sexy' chicken???
If so Penny will win the title! Adorable.

Oh how FUNNY! Love this chick (don't know about all the girls looking good in a polka dot bikini though- I haven't worn a bikini in probably 25 years! And I wouldn't dare try now! LOL!).
Have a super weekend!

Too stinkin' cute Anna! She doesn't fit the saying "madder than a wet hen", she looks happy as a lark. Love it.

Oh, Anna -- Penny is hilarious! I really hope you get to illustrate a children's book someday -- you'd be wonderful at it! I can see a whole book around crazy Penny!

I know our thousands and thousands of white chickens sure would look dashing in that red and white bikini! Hmmm, interesting question, can chickens swim?? Maybe I ought to go throw one of ours into our pond and take a look see!!! I'm truly curious now! LOL!!!
