When a family member or pet is sick or dies you want to do something to make yourself feel better and to remember them by. That’s why we often turn to art when we lose a pet, and you might feel inspired to paint your dog or cat - or in this case, a chicken! Remy was one of our pet roosters and he met an untimely end recently. I hadn’t realised how much I’d been affected by my own negligence which had led to his death until today when I found myself painting a little picture of him. RIP Remy.
