No, just plastic totes and sketchbooks, LOL. I have some pictures of some of my work. I'll have to hunt up the album and see if I can't scan some of them in.

Currently, I've been doing sketches of what else, chickens.

And before anyone else says I do great work let me share what I just finished. Wanted to learn to do some different embroidery designs so I used the opportunity to spiff up the guest bathroom.

waiting for photos micro

I found this tonight. Hope I don't get in the bad graces of the powers that be but two years ago I decided I was going to paint a mural on the side of my rooster coop. I came up with this:

Here is the almost finished product.

Somewhere I have the finished product but I've always liked the BYC logo and adapted it for the mural.

If you look real close you can see me in the run by the building on the right. I was covered with paint splatters and trying to hide just a little.

I did this for fun. Everyone around us has their farm name hanging on a sign by their mailbox. I decided to do something out of the ordinary.

DS#1's SO painted a portrait of my Icelandic cock, Audun, for me. It was a total surprise. She did it from pictures I and my DD had sent (and a feather my DD had collected on a visit here). I think she is very talented but, like you, does not do work that she would be paid to do. An acquaintance wanted her to paint a picture of her dog from a photo. She said it was the worst time of her life, trying to satisfy someone who didn't see the dog the way she saw it. She was offered quite a bit of money for a painting she did for my son of a pair of turkeys but she told the man she didn't want to do a second painting and he asked her just to sell him the one she was making for my son. She told him she could not. It was created for my son...that the motivation for creating it was not money. I understand where you are coming from because she explained it to me.
Here is the painting:
