This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Packed". With recent raccoon issues here on the farm, this little beauty is packed and headed out! I hear Italy's nice this time of year...
Comments
She is adorable! Too bad she must left her home!
Btw, I keep chicken as pet, and I've this terrified experience, I went checking my chicken when I heard of an abnormal sound from the yard at midnight. Guest what, I face to face with a python! Two of my chicken sacrificed before the fireman came!
This is so eye catching. I love your colors, shading, composition, and it also hits the funny bone square on. So cute! Sorry to hear about your back. I do relate. I have done that and been there. It will heal and you will feel better soon. Bless you!!! Gentle hugs sent your way... (0)
i have been enjoying your illustration fridays. your chickens are great. they remind me of the ones in the Chicken Run movie. i loved the one that kept saying, in her English accent "maybe she went on a holiday"(for the chickens that went missing), or "but i don't like gravy" (for the ones that were going to get put in a pot pie). i bet the "skunk trapping" could be some funny ideas!
I'd be packed up, too, and on my way to Tuscany where my best online friend is finishing up two weeks in Sweden and Italy! Hope your coon isn't rabid. There's been some of those around here! YIKES!
I could tell from the thumbnail it was going to be interesting, but it's even better than I expected. A gorgeous character. Lots of people have gone with the suitcase idea, but yours is by far the nicest I've found. Great stuff!
I saw the topic today and then I saw your illustration and giggled. I was wondering what some of responses would be. I love yours. I like how you did it on watercolor paper. The texture and the colors you chose were nice!
Lovely illustration, with her little bag all packed. :o)
She would be welcome to come and stay here with my three red hens any time, and being in the UK, we are raccoon free!

Stupid raccoons - I hope you find the right combo of tasty treats. Have you tried peanut butter? That always worked for us.
