Guinea fowl

I love guinea fowl, the quirkiness of them and since my sister has some at her farm I have learnt they sleep in trees! I find this has fairytale qualities (with a dash of humour!), just thinking about their large rounded bodies in contrast to their long necks suspended precariously on the nobbly branches of a plum tree (what they happen to roost in at my sister's farm). So of course I had to use this subject as a piece of work. Seems anything quirky has my attention. Using mixed media which I need A LOT more practice with of course,  but enjoyed making it non the less.
