Trampled by Geese is a reminder to myself to look at the positive side of life and to endeavour to only write about things that inspire me rather than focus on what is negative in the world. Kirkegaard once wrote, “Being trampled by geese is a slow way of dying, but being eaten to death by envy and greed is even slower and more painful”.

Fig sample in progress

It's tricky because he's a black chicken but the black isn't black, it glows lots of colours.
Black chickens are definitely not solid black! The blue and green sheens are really pretty. Translating that to a media like paint is an intriguing experiment. I'll never try it with water colors (or any paint) but you've got me thinking about how to try it with weaving. Ideas are percolating.

P.S. I like the dragon too.
