My latest quirky house portrait is just finished. I've painted the family's chickens escaping from the garden.....

...which prompted me to paint a chicken on this very interestingly shaped pebble....

...and then one of my favourite subjects, a big fat ginger cat

I'm calling this a "Calico Cube"

It's a little row of my cottages painted on a wooden cube which measures about 3" square. It can be used as a paper weight (or not!) I've painted several and they can be lined up to create a whole street of Calico cottages.
