"Jeu de Poules"; right: black chicks<br />

Perry loves to sit and observe the<br />

chickens going about their daily lives<br />

and sometimes that creates the basis<br />

for a drawing idea.<br />

Caroline says “We were once playing<br />

boules and when we threw the 'pois', a<br />

couple of chickens came running after<br />

it, probably thinking it was food. Perry’s<br />

drawing 'Jeu de Poules’ came from this”.<br />

Perry recalls seeing four chickens and<br />

Rusty the cockerel all cleaning<br />

themselves under their wings and tails<br />

and for one magic moment, none of<br />

their heads were visible, which gave rise<br />

to his painting titled ‘Headless<br />

Chickens'.<br />

Caroline explains how another favourite<br />

came about “Our neighbour has black<br />

Gascon chickens. One day one got<br />

loose and came over to inspect our<br />

Light Sussex. Perry wondered what<br />

would come out if they bred. His 'Black<br />

chicks' drawing was the result”!
