next picture in Semillas y Huevos

[asakiyume]

When last I shared from Semillas y Huevos, the kids were planting an egg. So now we have them sliding avocado seeds underneath a hen :-)



Only two pictures left to do (the avocado tree with eggs for fruit and the little chicks that are little walking, cheeping avocados, heh!)

Another lovely picture!

[asakiyume]

Thank you!

I love the hen's expression. P.

[asakiyume]

I had some very nice reference photos to look at ^_^

That's a really great hen.

[asakiyume]

Thank you!

[amaebi]

Brilliant.

[asakiyume]

^_^ pleased you like it

[wayfaringwordhack]

How sweet! Glad she was not the feisty kind that tried to peck them. We had a few of those. ;)

[asakiyume]

Hahaha, that would be a whole nother five-page picture book: The Hen That Would Not Let Us Collect Her Eggs.

[wayfaringwordhack]

hehe. I can see how that would dissuade you. ;)

I love, love, love these drawings you are doing here. Oil pastels really are a perfect medium for you. (I wonder if that's from all the practice you get with the more evanescent medium of chalk? 😀)

[asakiyume]

You're too kind (BUT I WILL TAKE IT)!

I really love-love-love colors.

and yeah, the chalks and the pastels are good mutual reinforcers--and both make me work bigger than was my inclination as a kid.

That hen looks quite accommodating. I wonder if she has any idea of the mischief afoot!

[asakiyume]

Such a sweetheart, willing to foster this strange hard egg they're giving her ^_^

[amaebi]

Every time I look at that hen (beautiful hen! hennish hen!) I remember the other illustrations you've shown us here, and think, "Those kids are so lucky. But this looks and sounds like something a lot of people would really enjoy. Oh, I hope asakiyume is holding on to originals or near-originals that are reproducible."

[asakiyume]

Oh, you bet ^_^ I'm definitely holding onto them.

I feel anxious to finish because I haven't yet shown the kids any of the picture! But I have only two to go, so--home stretch?

Thank you for enjoying them!
