Three French Hens

The French Hens were the best hens.

Back when this song was written, the French Hens were known to be the best bird at the table. Today, a French Hen usually describes the Faverolles Chicken, which are these really cool chickens with feathers on their legs.

Apparently, they make great pets.

A twelve part series in ink

I did a series of 12 drawings based on the classic twelve days of Christmas Carol. The drawings are all in pen and brush and ink. I'm selling prints of each of the drawings.

These archival prints are gorgeous.

I print these myself using a top-of-the-line Epson printer on Hahnemuhle German Etching paper. The paper is thick and has a nice texture to it. The ink is lightfast and tested to last for 200 years. The original is 12" x 9" but I print these slightly smaller at 11" x 8.5" so they fit in standard inexpensive frames.
